📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place the unwrapped chocolate coins on a plate and chill in the freezer until ready to use.
2
Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
3
In a medium-sized bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
4
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream together the butter, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, and the brown sugar until light and fluffy, ⏱️ 2 minutes. Add in the egg and mix, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add the cookie butter and vanilla extract; mix until combined.

5
Add the dry mixture and blend until combined with no dry patches, scraping down the sides as needed.
6
Using a cookie scoop, add 1 tablespoon-sized dollops of the cookie dough onto the lined baking sheets close together, but not touching.
7
Cover the trays with plastic wrap and place the tray in the fridge for at least ⏱️ 2 hours.
8
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
9
Place the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl.
10
Roll the dough between your hands to form 1-inch balls. Roll in the sugar and place them on parchment lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
11
Bake for ⏱️ 10-11 minutes until they puff up and just start to crack on the tops.
12
Remove from oven and immediately take a chilled chocolate coin and press it down in the center of each cookie until it sticks (with the menorah facing out so you can see it.)
13
Transfer baking sheets to a wire rack, let cool, and enjoy!
