I used it to make a moist Lotus Cake... you should try the recipe next time. It's so good!

👩🏼🍳 HOW TO MAKE BISCOFF COOKIES
- Get the butter out of the refrigerator for at least an hour before baking. It should be soft to the touch but not melted.
Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven to 300°F/ 150°C (148°C fan), line a flat baking tray with baking paper, and set aside.
Cream the Butter and Sugar:
- Cream the butter and sugar with a handheld mixer, stand mixer, or a whisk for 5 minutes.
Incorporate Biscoff Spread:
- Then, add the Biscoff spread and cream for a further 2 minutes. The creamed butter and sugar should be light in color and fluffy in texture.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
- Use a spatula to scrape the butter off the side of the bowl. Sift the flour, ⅓ cup ( 40g at a time, folding it gently into the creamed butter mixture until you have used all the flour. Gently fold in the chocolate chips if using.
Form Cookie Dough Balls:
- Using a cookie scoop (which is roughly two tablespoons), place the cookies onto your prepared baking tray. You can also roll the cookie dough balls by hand if you prefer. Place the cookies 2-3 inches apart on the baking tray.
- Optional to sprinkle crushed store-bought Biscoff cookies over the cookie dough before baking if preferred or to leave plain.
Bake:
- Bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the edges begin to turn a golden color.
Cool and Enjoy:
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the trays for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. You can add a teaspoon of Biscoff spread onto each cookie if you like.
📝 TIPS AND TRICKS
- Ensure Butter is Softened: Softened butter is crucial for achieving the desired texture. Allow the butter to come to room temperature before starting the recipe to ensure it creams well with the sugars, resulting in a light and fluffy consistency.
- Avoid Overmixing the Dough: Overmixing the dough can lead to dense cookies. Once the dry ingredients are added, mix only until combined. Overmixing can activate too much gluten in the flour, affecting the texture of the cookies.
- Allow for Cooling Time: Patience is key when baking the perfect Biscoff Butter Cookies. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set and maintain their texture.
❓ FAQS
Make sure that the butter is at room temperature.
Chilling the dough first also helps to prevent the cookies from spreading.
Yes. Biscoff does not contain milk or dairy. To make these cookies dairy-free, swap the butter for a dairy-free option.
You sure can. Use your favorite Speculoos spread.
MAKE-AHEAD, STORAGE AND FREEZING
MAKE-AHEAD: you can make cookie dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator or freezer. This can be a convenient option for busy schedules. If you plan to bake the cookies within a day or two, you can refrigerate the cookie dough. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out. Chilled cookie dough can also develop more decadent flavors.
STORAGE: Once baked, cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for several days.
FREEZING: Place baked and cooled cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer them to a freezer bag, separating layers with parchment paper. This prevents the cookies from sticking together. Frozen cookies can be thawed at room temperature.
You can freeze cookie dough. Form the dough into balls or log shapes, wrap it tightly, and store it in an airtight container or freezer bag.

USE SOFT BUTTER! Get the butter out of the fridge for at least one hour before baking. It should be soft to the touch but not melted.
MIND THE BAKING TIME: Keep a close eye on the cookies as they bake. Overbaking can result in dry cookies. Aim for a golden-brown color around the edges while the centers remain soft. Baking times may vary, so check for doneness a minute or two before the recommended time.
GET CREATIVE WITH PRESENTATION: For an extra touch, drizzle melted biscoff over the cookies or sandwich two cookies together with Biscoff.
