14TBSPUnsalted butter, soft and cut into 1/4" pieces(200 g / 7 oz)
1/2CupBiscoff butter(120 g / 4 oz)
1LargeEgg, beaten
1tspVanilla extract
1CupBiscoff butter, for filling(240 g / 8 oz)
1/2CupCrushed Biscoff cookies crumbs
Instructions
In a large bowl, sift the flour and baking powder. Add the sugar and use a fork to evenly incoporate.
Toss the butter pieces in the flour mixture then add the remaining ingredients.
Use your hand to mix the ingredients until a soft yet firm dough is formed.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts then wrap each with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 30--60.
Preheat oven to 350F and line a large cookie pan with parchment paper.
Dust a clean surface with flour, and roll one of the pieces into a 9"x7" rectangle.
Spread the dough with 3 tbs of Bscoff butter and sprinkle with crushed Biscoff cookies.
Roll the dough from the wider side in, place the log onto the prepared pan and use a sharp knife to make insertion with 1" space in between.
Bake for 20-22 minutes on the middle shelf rack until the logs are lightly browned and puffed.
Remove from the oven allow to cool for 5 minutes then use a knife to cut the cookies.
To make hamentashen
Roll each piece until 1/3" thick. Use a 3" round cookie cutter to cut the dough.
Dollop 1/2 tsp of Biscoff butter at the center of each circle. Use a small brush to brush the edges of the dough with water or a beaten egg.
Gently use your fingers to lift two edges of the dough and pinch the corner where the dough meets. Repeat with the remaining dough until you have a triangle.
Place the cookies on top of the prepared pan and bake for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before dusting with sugar.
Notes
Make sure all of the ingredients are at room temperature.
Do not overfill the cookies or roll them too thin, they will spread and break.
For straight logs, trim the edges of the dough, before rolling it.
Roll the dough very gently with little force, to avoid it from sticking to the rolling pin and tearing.
