Instructions
-
In a large bowl using hand-held mixer or stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter for 1 minute on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar and beat on medium-high speed until fluffy and light in color. Beat in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract on high speed. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl as needed. On high speed, beat in Biscoff spread.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cornstarch, and salt together until combined. On low speed, slowly mix into wet ingredients until combined. Switch to high speed and beat in chocolate chips. The cookie dough will be a little sticky. Cover dough tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and chill for at least 3 hours and up to 3 days. Chilling is mandatory for this cookie dough. I always chill mine overnight.
Why this Biscoff Chocolate Chip Cookies works for PCOS
Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Biscoff Chocolate Chip Cookies works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe
This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.
Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly.
