A rich decadent butter cookie, laced with cookie butter spread (Biscoff). I've made these a number of times and they're fabulous as a lunch box filler and even better a fabulous gift. I love when people ask "what's in it?" Dough can be made the day before and rested in the fridge or as recommended, left for an hour prior to rolling into balls. Dough can be used immediately if you're stretched for time.
