What do these biscoff butter cookies taste like?

These buttery cookies are thick, soft and ever so chewy! They have a caramel flavor with a touch of cinnamon. Delicious!

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

Ingredients-for-biscoff-butter-cookies
Ingredients for biscoff butter cookies

Biscoff butter: I use biscoff Lotus spread, but you could use Speculoos brand, too. You can definitely use any other cookie butter spread, but I’m not sure it’ll have the same flavor as Lotus biscoff butter. I also melt a little more cookie butter to pour over the cookies. This is an optional step, but totally recommended!
Butter: I use unsalted butter.
Flour: I use regular all-purpose flour.
Sugar: I use both white granulated sugar and light brown sugar.
Vanilla: I use pure vanilla extract.
Egg: I use 1 whole egg.
Spices: I use a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg and a little bit of ground cinnamon. I really love the tiny amount of nutmeg and I think the cinnamon goes so well with the cookie butter. But I’ve also made these cookies without the spices and they turned out great!
Baking soda: Helps make the cookies rise.
Cornstarch: I use a little cornstarch because it helps make the cookies chewy!
Salt: I use a tiny bit to enhance everything, as always!

ADD-INS & VARIATIONS

These cookies would be great with different add-ins or you can make your own variations!
Here are a few ideas:

  • Add some chopped or crushed Biscoff cookies. I’ve also made these cookies with extra biscoff cookies! Just crush some biscoff cookies (around 5 cookies) and roll them in the crushed cookies before you bake them ! The cookie crumbs stick to the surface of the cookies. I really enjoyed this variation, but it did make the cookies a bit sweeter. If you have a sweeter tooth than me, you’ll probably like these cookies that way!
  • Add some white chocolate. White chocolate chips or chunks would be so good with these cookies! You could also drizzle the cookies with some melted white chocolate. I really think that white chocolate pairs so well with Biscoff butter and Biscoff cookies!
  • Add some nuts. I’ve also made these cookies with walnuts and buttered pecans! Both are delicious and the nuts add a nice crunch, too!
  • Add some Biscoff spread inside. You could also stuff the cookies with Biscoff butter! Just freeze a few spoonfuls of biscoff spread and then when you make the dough, add a piece of frozen spread and wrap the cookie dough around it. Then make balls with your hands so that the frozen spread is covered and bake!

HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

Biscoff butter cookies step-by-step

biscoff butter cookie steps 1-4 whisk dry ingredients beat butter and spread add sugar and vanilla
biscoff butter cookies step 5-8 add flour fold dry ingredients scoop onto tray and bake

STEP 1
First, whisk together the flour, salt, cornstarch and baking soda.

STEP 2
In another bowl, beat the butter with the biscoff spread until everything is well-combined. You’ll know it’s ready when you can’t see pieces of butter in the mixture anymore.

STEP 3
Add the brown and white sugar and mix until the sugar is thoroughly combined.

STEP 4
Next, add the egg, vanilla, and spices and beat to thoroughly mix everything, about 1-2 minutes.

STEP 5
Gradually add about half the flour mixture and mix it well.

STEP 6
Fold in the remaining flour mixture. I like to do this using a silicone spatula so that I don’t overwork the dough.

TOP TIP
Don’t overwork the dough or the cookies will become dense and hard. Mix until everything is just combined!

STEP 7

Use a cookie scoop and place the dough balls on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Make sure they’re about 3-4 inches (8-10 cm) apart. For larger cookies, use 1 ½ tablespoons to form balls.

STEP 8
Bake! Then let them cool and drizzle them with some melted cookie butter!

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

  • Measure the flour and all the ingredients properly.
  • Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature. This will ensure that everything combines thoroughly without any lumps, which could affect how the cookies bake.
  • Bake the cookies until they JUST turn a light golden brown on the edges. Don’t overbake them, otherwise they’ll get too hard!
  • To melt the cookie butter, just put it in the microwave for about 10-20 seconds.

Freezing

Once the cookies have completely cooled, you could freeze them! (I freeze them without the cookie butter glaze on top.) Just place them on a tray in a single layer and put them in the freezer. When they have completely frozen, you can put them in a freezer bag or freezer-safe container. I usually put a piece of parchment paper in between each cookie so they don’t stick together. They can be frozen for up to about 2 months.

You can thaw frozen cookies as they are in the container at room temperature.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Biscoff cookie butter? What is Biscoff cookie spread?

Biscoff butter is a spread made with biscoff cookies. Its texture is really similar to peanut butter. It’s often sold in 2 varieties, smooth and crunchy. For this recipe, I used smooth biscoff spread.

Is cookie butter the same as Biscoff spread?

Cookie butter is a paste made from spiced cookies like speculoos. Lotus Biscoff spread is the most popular kind of cookie butter here in Europe. I haven’t tried any other brands, so I’m not sure if they taste the same as biscoff spread.

Where can I buy Biscoff spread?

A few major supermarkets have Lotus biscoff spread both in the USA and Europe. I’m sure you could also order it online.

What does Biscoff cookie butter taste like?

Biscoff spread is thick like peanut butter and it has a rich buttery, caramel/butterscotch flavor with a touch of cinnamon. If you’ve ever had Lotus cookies, it’s like a creamy variation of them! Caramelized heaven on a spoon!

How long do these cookies last?

These cookie butter cookies will last for up to 5 days at room temperature if you keep them in an airtight container.

HOW TO SERVE BISCOFF BUTTER COOKIES

These cookies make a great coffee accompaniment! My mom dips them in Greek coffee!
Another yummy idea is to crumble them on top of ice cream!! Or better yet, make ice cream sandwiches with them! I think these cookies and vanilla ice cream make a perfect combination!

Make the cookies

  • Whisk together the flour, salt, cornstarch and baking soda. Set aside.
