📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cookie cups:
2
Preheat oven to 350°F with a rack in the center of the oven. Grease a 12-cup standard size muffin pan.
3
Combine flour, baking soda, salt, cornstarch, and spices. Set aside.
cornstarch2 teaspoons
4
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, brown sugar, and molasses until combined. Add egg and egg yolk, beating until combined and scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Beat in the flour mixture until fully combined.

5
Scoop the dough into 3-tablespoon portions and and place one portion of dough in each of the greased muffin cups. This dough is sticky, so a cookie scoop works great for this. No need to flatten the dough balls, they'll spread and fill the cup while baking. Bake for ⏱️ 12-15 minutes, until the cookies have puffed up and spread out and the edges are set but the center of the cookies is still slightly underdone.
6
Place the muffin pan on a cooling rack and cool completely, they will firm up as they cool. Note: the center of each cookie will sink down a bit as they cool, that's ok.
7
Frosting:
8
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and cookie butter until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar and vanilla, then add the milk/half and half one-tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency (I used about 2 tablespoons). You can adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sugar to thicken and more milk to thin. Using a piping bag fitted with an open star tip to swirl frosting onto the top of each cookie cup. Top with crushed Biscoff cookies, if desired.
