Biscoff Cookie Butter Cookies Recipe
Introduction
These Biscoff Cookie Butter Cookies are soft, chewy, and bursting with the warm, caramelized flavors of Biscoff spread. Topped with colorful M&M’s for a fun twist, they make a perfect treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup Biscoff Spread
- 1 1/2 cups M&M’s (reserve some for the tops)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
- Step 3: Using a mixer, cream the butter and both sugars on medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes until fully combined and fluffy.
- Step 4: Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until combined. Then mix in the Biscoff cookie butter for 30 seconds to 1 minute until smooth.
- Step 5: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in the M&M’s, reserving some to place on top of the cookies.
- Step 6: Using a cookie scoop or large spoon, drop large rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared sheet pan about 2 inches apart. Gently press down each cookie ball slightly to keep them thick.
- Step 7: Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are golden and set. The centers may look slightly gooey—that’s perfect to keep them soft.
- Step 8: Remove from the oven and transfer the cookies to a wire rack. Allow them to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Tips & Variations
- For extra chewiness, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Swap M&M’s for chocolate chips or chopped nuts if you prefer.
- If you like a stronger cookie butter flavor, add an extra 1/4 cup of Biscoff Spread.
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
Storage
Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To keep them soft, add a slice of bread to the container, which will help retain moisture. They also freeze well; thaw at room temperature before serving. Reheat gently in the microwave for a few seconds to enjoy a warm cookie experience.

FAQs
Can I use crunchy Biscoff spread instead of smooth?
Yes, you can use crunchy Biscoff spread, but it may add a slightly different texture due to the cookie bits. The cookies will still taste delicious.
Can I make these cookies gluten-free?
To make these cookies gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the blend contains xanthan gum for the best texture.

Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup Biscoff Spread (cookie butter)
Add-ins
- 1 1/2 cups M&M’s (reserve some to decorate cookie tops)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: Using an electric mixer, beat the room temperature unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar on medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, then add the Biscoff cookie butter and continue mixing for another 30 seconds to 1 minute to create a smooth batter.
- Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender.
- Fold in M&M’s: Gently stir in the M&M’s, reserving some to press on the tops of the cookie dough balls later for decoration.
- Scoop Dough onto Sheet Pan: Using a cookie scoop or large spoon, form large rounded spoonfuls of dough and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly press down on each dough ball, but keep them thick to retain chewiness.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and the centers still look slightly gooey. This ensures a soft, chewy texture.
- Cool Cookies: Remove cookies from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack. Let them cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow the cookies to set perfectly.

- For extra flavor, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to enhance the cookie’s texture and flavor depth.
