How to make Cookie Butter cookies
Heart filling option: On a plate place piles of biscoff cookie spread with a small teaspoon and place in the freezer while making the cookie dough.
1 - Cream the butter
- In a large bowl, mix the softened unsalted butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until well blended and smooth.
- Add egg, vanilla extract and biscoff spread.
- Mix again with an electric mixer for a good minute to incorporate them.
Tip : Use room-temperature ingredients for a homogeneous mixture and make the blend with an electric mixer or in your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.


2 - Add the dry ingredients
- Add flour, baking powder and baking soda, salt and biscoff cookie crumbs.
- Mix with a rubber spatula just enough to have a homogeneous mixture.
- Add the crushed biscoff cookies and stir again with a spatula to incorporate them into the cookies dough.
Tip : If the cookie dough seems too sticky then let it chill in the fridge for a while before proceeding to the shaping stage.


4 - Baking
- Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Form cookie dough balls with your hands and insert a piece of frozen biscoff spread in the center of the ball and close with the dough to lock it in place.
- Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet with parchment paper, spacing them about 5 cm apart.
- And bake the biscoff cookie butter cookies in the oven for about 15-17 minutes (depending on the diameter) until they are puffed up and golden brown around the edges.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before carefully moving the baked cookies with a saptula to a wire rack.
Tip: The cookies are ready when they have a golden color on top but are still soft in the center, as they cool they will firm up.
>> For more soft cookies, reduce the baking time a bit, they will be perfectly soft and chewy in the center with a crunchy edge.


Storage and freezing
Room temperature : Cookies are best stored at room temperature when completely cooled, place in an airtight container away from humidity to retain their crunchy texture.
How to freeze cookies?
After baking:
Cookies can be frozen in two ways either after baking when completely cooled, placed in storage bags or packed in a box and you can keep them for 3 months in the freezer.
Let them come back to room temperature slowly or use the defrost function of the microwave directly to go faster.
Before baking:
And this method of freezing cookies is my favorite, it consists of shaping balls of raw cookie dough and placing them on a baking sheet in the freezer. Then put the frozen cookie dough balls in a large storage bag.
Then you just have to take the cookie dough balls out and let them recover for about 1 hour at room temperature before baking them following the instructions in the recipe card.

What size are the dough balls in ounces or grams before you bake them? "Cookie scoop" tells me nothing as cookie scoops come in so many different sizes. I don't own any scoops and prefer to weigh things for accuracy and consistency.
Hi, I always use the regular ice cream cookies scoop, it’s about 5 cm in diameter
