How to Make

Start by lining two baking sheets with parchment paper. This keeps cleanup easy and helps prevent sticking.

In a large bowl, mix the room temperature butter, 1/2 cup of Biscoff spread, and both sugars.
Mix until light and creamy. This step helps with the chewy texture.

Add the egg and vanilla. Mix until everything looks smooth and combined.

In a separate bowl, stir together the dry ingredients. Add them to the wet ingredients and mix just until a soft cookie dough forms.

Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and 1/3 cup of the chopped Biscoff cookies. Save the rest for the tops of the cookies.

Cover and chill the dough for at least 20 minutes. This chill time helps control the spread and gives the best results.

If you’d like thicker cookies, or if your dough is too soft, add 20-30 more minutes to chilling.

Pre-heat your oven to 350 F.

Scoop the dough with a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop onto the baking sheets. Keep the shapes loose and don’t roll smooth.

Press the reserved cookie pieces into the tops. Bake until the edges look set, but the centers stay soft.

Let the baked cookies cool completely on the pan. Microwave the remaining 1/4 cup cookie butter for a few seconds until smooth and pourable, then use a spoon to drizzle it over the cookies.

Expert Tips

• Chill the dough before baking so the cookies don’t spread too fast
• Use a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop so all cookies bake evenly
• Shape the dough loosely to encourage natural cracks
• Chop Biscoff cookies into medium chunks, so they stay visible on top
• Press the topping pieces in firmly so they don’t fall off
• Pull cookies out when centers look soft for the best texture. Remember that the cookies keep baking slightly while cooling in the pan.
• For perfectly round cookies, place a round cookie cutter or glass slightly larger than the cookie over it immediately after baking and gently swirl in a circle to reshape while the cookies are still warm and soft.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did my cookies spread too much?

This usually happens if the butter was too soft or the dough wasn’t chilled. If your kitchen is warm, chill the dough for 15–30 minutes before baking.

Why didn’t my cookies spread?

Too much flour or over-chilling the dough can prevent spreading. Make sure to measure flour correctly using the spoon-and-level method.

Why are my cookies dry?

Overbaking or adding too much flour can cause dryness. Bake just until the edges are set.

Can I use crunchy Biscoff instead of smooth?

Yes, but the texture will be slightly chunkier and less smooth.

Do I have to chill the dough?

Not always. If your dough feels soft or sticky, chilling helps control spreading and improves texture.

How do I know when the cookies are done?

The edges should look set and lightly golden, while the centers still look slightly soft. They will continue setting as they cool.

How should I store these Biscoff butter cookies?

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, this recipe doubles well. Just avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.

Can I make the cookie dough ahead of time?

Yes. Chill the dough up to 24 hours before baking.

Can I freeze this cookie dough?

Yes. Scoop first, freeze solid, then store for up to 2 months.

Can I freeze baked cookies?

Yes. Let them cool completely, then freeze up to 2 months in an airtight container.
