How to Make Biscoff Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 3/4 cup Biscoff cookie butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk (room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces white chocolate (chopped, plus more for drizzling)
- 6 Biscoff cookies (crushed)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, or using an electric hand mixer, combine the unsalted butter and Biscoff cookie butter. Beat on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until well combined.
- Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the mixture. Continue to beat on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Crack in the egg and egg yolk, then add the vanilla extract. Beat until creamy and well incorporated.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the dough, mixing until just combined. Make sure to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Fold in the chopped white chocolate and give it a light stir. The dough will be slightly sticky.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, drop the cookie dough onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2-3 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the tops are set and the edges are lightly golden. If you notice any uneven spreading during baking, you can swish a wide-rimmed cup around the edges to create a clean circle.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies cool, melt the remaining white chocolate and drizzle it over the cookies. Melt some extra Biscoff cookie butter in a separate bowl and drizzle over the cookies in the opposite direction. Finish with a sprinkle of crushed Biscoff cookies for that extra touch.
Best Ways to Serve Biscoff Cookies
Serving these cookies can be as creative as you want it to be! You can arrange them on a beautiful plate, drizzle with a little extra melted white chocolate, and sprinkle more Biscoff cookie crumbs for a stunning presentation. Pair them with a warm cup of coffee or tea to enhance their flavors.
Feel free to package them up in a cute box or jar as a thoughtful gift for friends or family. These cookies are a great treat for sharing. You can also add them to dessert platters at gatherings or serve them at a cozy movie night.
Keeping Your Biscoff Cookies Fresh
Storage is key to prolonging the deliciousness of your Biscoff cookies. To keep them fresh, store your cookies in an airtight container. They can last for about a week at room temperature. If you’ve made a big batch and want to save some for later, consider refrigerating them; they will keep for around two weeks.
For longer storage, you can even freeze the cookies! Place them in a freezer-safe container or bag and they will last for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply let them thaw at room temperature or give them a quick warm-up in the oven.
Pro Tips for Making Biscoff Cookies
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter, eggs, and cookie butter are at room temperature. This will help create a creamier batter and better texture in your cookies.
- Don’t Overmix: Once you add the dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can cause the cookies to be tough.
- Cookie Size: Evenly sized scoops will ensure uniform baking. If you prefer larger cookies, adjust the baking time accordingly.
- Experiment with Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your drizzles! Dark chocolate or a salted caramel drizzle can elevate these cookies even more.
Delicious Variations of Biscoff Cookies
While the basic Biscoff cookie is fantastic on its own, there are plenty of ways to enjoy them even more. Here are a few variations to consider:
- Nut Lovers: Add a half cup of chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for an added crunch.
- Chocolate Chips: Swap in some dark or milk chocolate chips for a sweet contrast.
- Spiced Biscoff: For a warm flavor, incorporate some cinnamon or nutmeg into the dough.
- Stuffed Cookies: Try stuffing a little cookie butter in the center of each scoop before baking for a gooey surprise!
FAQs
1. Can I use different types of chocolate?
Absolutely! While white chocolate pairs perfectly, you could substitute with dark or milk chocolate if you prefer.
2. Can I use homemade Biscoff cookie butter?
Yes! If you’re feeling adventurous, homemade cookie butter can taste even better and give these cookies a personal touch.
3. How can I tell when my cookies are done?
Look for edges that are lightly golden and a center that is barely set. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
These Biscoff cookies are undeniably a treat worth the time and love invested in making them. I hope you enjoy creating these beautiful bites that will bring warmth and sweetness to your days. So go stir, mix, and bake, knowing these cookies will not only fill your home with a comforting aroma but also fill your heart with joy!
