Biscoff Cookie Butter Cookies

If you’re a Biscoff cookie butter fan, these cookies will instantly become your new favorite. Biscoff Cookie Butter Cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with the warm, spiced flavors of cinnamon and ginger. Each bite melts in your mouth, delivering a comforting sweetness that’s perfect for the holidays—or any time you crave a cozy treat.

What makes these cookies special is the cookie butter itself. Biscoff spread gives a deep caramelized flavor reminiscent of those iconic crunchy cookies, but in a chewy, soft cookie form. Add in some chocolate, M&M’s, or nuts, and you’ve got a cookie that’s impossible to resist.

Why This Recipe Stands Out

• Soft and chewy: No dry, flat cookies—these stay thick and tender.
• Biscoff flavor magic: Cookie butter adds cinnamon and caramelized spice naturally.
• Customizable: Add M&M’s, chocolate chips, nuts, or even crushed Biscoff cookies.
• Holiday-ready: Warm spice flavors make them perfect for Christmas or winter baking.
• Simple and approachable: From mixing to baking in just 20–25 minutes.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Perfectly thick cookies that don’t flatten out.
• Quick to prepare, yet impressive for gifts or dessert tables.
• Customizable texture and add-ins to suit your family’s taste.

Servings: 18

Tools & Equipment Needed

• Large mixing bowl
• Medium mixing bowl for dry ingredients
• Electric mixer (hand or stand)
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Cookie scoop or large spoon
• Baking sheet lined with parchment paper
• Wire cooling rack

Optional: Silicone spatula for folding in add-ins.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside. This ensures all leavening agents and spices are evenly distributed.

3. Cream Butter and Sugars

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to combine butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 1–2 minutes until smooth and fully combined.

4. Add Egg, Vanilla, and Biscoff

Add the egg and vanilla to the creamed butter and sugar, beating until combined. Then add Biscoff cookie butter and beat for another 30–60 seconds until fully incorporated. The dough will have a rich caramel color and aromatic spice.

5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and beat until just combined. Overmixing can make the cookies tough. At this stage, fold in any add-ins like M&M’s, chocolate chips, or nuts.

6. Scoop and Shape Cookies

Using a cookie scoop or large spoon, form rounded spoonfuls of dough and place on the prepared sheet pan 2 inches apart. Slightly press down the cookie balls—not too much, you want them thick and chewy.

7. Bake

Bake for 12–14 minutes, until edges are golden and set but the centers are still slightly soft. Don’t worry if the middle looks a little gooey; they continue baking on the pan after removal.

8. Cool Before Serving

Transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack and allow them to cool for 10 minutes before serving. This ensures they firm up without losing their soft, chewy texture.

Tips & Variations

• Do not overbake: Cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you remove them from the oven.
• Room temperature butter: Ensures even creaming and a smooth dough.
• Customize flavors: Add white chocolate chips, caramel chunks, or crushed Biscoff for texture.
• Holiday gift idea: Package in decorative tins with festive ribbons.
• Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–5 days.

Flavor Profile & Pairings

• Cinnamon and ginger warmth: Subtle spice complements caramel notes from Biscoff.
• Sweet and nutty: Cookie butter adds richness and depth of flavor.
• Soft and chewy texture: The edges are lightly crisp while the center stays tender.
• Optional chocolate or candy crunch: Add M&M’s or chocolate for extra indulgence.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with a glass of cold milk or warm coffee.
• Top with a drizzle of Biscoff spread for extra decadence.
• Serve alongside vanilla ice cream for a dessert twist.
