- ¼ cup of Biscoff butter cookie spread
- ¼ cup of packed brown sugar (light brown sugar)

How to Make Biscoff Butter Cookies
Here’s a step-by-step guide to making these irresistible Biscoff Butter Cookies:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the butter, Biscoff butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Use an electric hand mixer to beat the mixture until creamy. Be careful not to overmix, approximately 2 minutes on medium-high speed is ideal.
- Add the egg and vanilla to the mixture, beating on low with the mixer. Gradually mix in the flour until well combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and toffee chips by hand.
- Chill the Biscoff cookie dough in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to prevent overspreading and create dense cookies.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177C) and line a light metal cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop 8-10 cookie dough balls (approximately 1½ tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them. Bake half a batch at a time, keeping the unused dough in the fridge.
- For an optional extra touch, gently press additional toffee chips onto the tops of the cookies.
- Bake the Biscoff butter cookies for 10-12 minutes. The cookies are ready when the edges are set and the centers are soft. They may appear slightly underdone, but this is intentional for a soft, chewy texture. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling. If you’re using a dark baking sheet, remove the cookies promptly to prevent overbaking. Enjoy!
Recipe Variations
If you’re looking to switch things up, here are a few tasty variations you can try:
- Swap the milk chocolate chips for white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chunks, or mini chips.
- Use crunchy cookie butter instead of the creamy variety.
- Replace English toffee chips with butterscotch chips, sprinkles, or Biscoff cookie crumbs.
- Add extra spices like ginger, cloves, or nutmeg for a delightful twist.
Storage and Freezing
Biscoff butter cookies stay soft and chewy for 1-2 days when stored in the refrigerator. Wrap them in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container for optimal freshness.
These cookies freeze beautifully. Stack them in a freezer-safe container with parchment or freezer paper in between to prevent them from sticking together. When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply thaw them in the fridge.
Expert Tips from a Dietitian
While Biscoff cookie butter may not be the healthiest choice due to its added sugar, white flour, and oil content, it’s perfectly fine to treat yourself every now and then. Here are some helpful tips for baking these cookies:
- Use a kitchen scale to measure the flour for more consistent results.
- Avoid overmixing the dough; stop as soon as the flour is fully incorporated.
- Chill the cookie dough before baking to prevent excessive spreading and achieve soft cookies with crisp edges.
- Leave enough space between the cookies on the baking sheet to allow them to spread.
- For the best Biscoff butter cookies, don’t overbake them. Take them out of the oven when they still appear slightly undone, as they will continue to firm up as they cool.
