White Chocolate Biscoff Crunch Cookies

Alright, it's been a while.  I know, I know.  But we have a good excuse, I promise.

Our computer died.  Not good.

Yeah, we have an iPad and we can update from that, but really, it's more of a pain in the butt than anything.  And if you follow us on Facebook, you already knew our computer died a couple weeks ago.

BUT... we have an awesome friend that is fixing it!  Thanks, Jamie!

So anyway, I'm currently updating from my mom's computer.  I've been waiting to share this recipe for a while now.  Long story short: I had surgery on Friday, didn't want to recuperate at home in GA by myself for a week, so I decided that it would be a good idea to get on a plane and fly 800 miles back to MI to recuperate at my parent's house.  Don't worry, I'm okay.  I survived the flight with the help of pain killers and David Gray.

Okay, the cookies.  These cookies are awesome.  You must try them immediately.  You do know what Biscoff cookies are, right?  If you've ever flown with Delta, you probably do.  I used to just refer to them as the 'Delta Airlines cookies.'  When Beau was traveling every other week, he would get the cookies during beverage service on the plane and stockpile them for me (because he can't stand them).  So, when I would go visit him once a month, I would have a nice supply of Biscoff cookies to keep me occupied while he was at work. 

If you don't know what they are, doesn't matter.  Just go get some.  They are gingery and spicy and delicious.  And make these cookies promptly.

There are some of your ingredients.  You'll also need some sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, flour, salt, baking soda, and white chocolate chips. 

This is what the dough will look like.  I used a small cookie scoop for half the batch and a medium scoop for the other half.  Make the cookies whatever size you prefer.

Place scooped cookies on a baking sheet (lined with parchment paper or a baking mat) about 1 inch apart.  Bake for 12-15 minutes at 350 degrees.

They will look like this. 

Amazing.  Beau even liked these cookies and he really does not like Biscoff cookies.  Actually, when we go to the supermarket and I pick up a package of Biscoff, the Beau complaining starts.  And it doesn't stop until about half-way through the shopping trip.  He talks about how nasty they are.  He talks about how gross they are.  He talks about how he doesn't understand why I like them.  But magically, he loved this cookie concoction.  Go figure.

Enjoy!
