Biscoff Stuffed Snickerdoodles: Jane Bennet Cookies

So maybe in the original Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice cookies were not central plot points or character defining objects, but in the modern Youtube adaptation, The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, the word snickerdoodles would probably make every character simultaneous awww and weep because of their pivotal role in highlighting the emotional downs, then ups, that was the temporary separation and then reunion of Jane Bennet and Bingley (or Bing Lee in the modern case). ~spoilers~ though, you can't really expect to avoid spoilers about a 100+ year of story? Plus, there's a psychology study that found having plot points spoiled doesn't detract from a reader's enjoyment of the novel (also, hi to my new future home!). But more importantly, a thousand apologies to spoiling a certain Game of Throne's death to my friend's friend (which can never be forgiven no matter how many psych studies are done).

Anyways, like the impression I have of Jane Bennet, snickerdoodles are one of those classic, beautiful cookies that are perfect for all occasions- birthdays, celebrations, sadness all are complemented by sugar and spice (specifically, cinnamon). Add in Biscoff cookie butter for added sugar and spice? Definitely go-to cookies for everyone. Like seriously, if your day doesn't improve with some of these cookies, you must have really really interesting taste preferences (and let me know so I can adjust accordingly).

These snickerdoodles are probably a little on the flat and crispier side for my liking. There's an interesting debate floating around the interwebs about what makes a true snickerdoodle- flat and mildly crispy, or super puffy and soft? I think my ideal snickerdoodle would achieve both flatness and softness. While these didn't quite hit the mark on the softness, I think I can forgive them for that thanks to the cookie butter center. Make these as any other cookies (or as the recipe indicates), but add chilled Biscoff spread to the center of two rounded halves instead of forming one ball immediately.
