The Star of the Show: Biscoff Cookie Butter

If you’ve somehow managed to live under a rock and haven’t tried Biscoff cookie butter, let me introduce you to your new obsession. It’s a spread made from those delicious Speculoos cookies (Biscoff is the brand name, but you can find generic versions too!). It has a warm, spiced caramel flavor that’s absolutely addictive. You can find it in most major grocery stores, usually in the international aisle or with the peanut butter. For this recipe, we’re using it inside the brownies and as a gorgeous drizzle on top.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Let’s gather our ingredients! Here’s what you’ll need to make these amazing Biscoff Brownies:

Ingredient	Quantity
Biscoff Cookie Butter	3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons
Light or Dark Brown Sugar (packed)	1/2 cup
Granulated Sugar	1/2 cup
Large Eggs	2
Large Egg Yolk	1
Vanilla Extract	1 tablespoon
Unsalted Butter	10 tablespoons (1 1/4 cups)
Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips	2/3 cup + 1/4 cup
Unsweetened Dutch Cocoa Powder	1/4 cup
All-Purpose Flour	2/3 cup + 1 tablespoon
Espresso Powder	1 teaspoon
Fine Sea Salt	1/2 teaspoon
Biscoff Cookies	4-5

Let’s Bake! Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan: Press a large piece of parchment paper into an 8×8 inch square metal baking pan. Crease the edges of the paper so you know where the pan is. This makes it so easy to lift the brownies out later! Chill the pan with the parchment and a layer of Biscoff cookie butter in the freezer to firm up.
2. Preheat and Line: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on all sides.
3. Combine Sugars, Eggs & Vanilla: In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Melt Chocolate & Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Whisk in the cocoa powder.
5. Combine Wet Ingredients: Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and whisk until just combined. Don’t overmix!
6. Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the flour, espresso powder, and salt until just combined. Again, be careful not to overmix.
7. Layer the Batter: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
8. Add Cookie Butter Layer: Remove the chilled cookie butter from the freezer. Peel off the parchment paper and place the frozen cookie butter square on top of the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the cookie butter and spread evenly.
9. Top with Biscoff: Break up the Biscoff cookies and press them onto the top of the batter.
10. Drizzle with More Biscoff: Warm 2 tablespoons of Biscoff cookie butter in the microwave for 15-20 seconds until runny. Drizzle it over the top of the brownies.
11. Bake: Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
12. Cool & Enjoy: Let the pan cool completely on a wire rack before lifting the brownies out using the parchment paper overhang. Drizzle with more cookie butter if desired, and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• Don’t Overbake: This is key for fudgy brownies. Err on the side of slightly underbaked.
• Measure Flour Correctly: The best way to measure flour is by using a kitchen scale. If you don’t have one, spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife, rather than scooping directly from the bag.
• Swirl it Up: Instead of layering the cookie butter, you can swirl it into the batter for a marbled effect.
• Add Nuts: Chopped pecans or walnuts would be a delicious addition!

Serving Suggestions

These Biscoff Brownies are delicious on their own, but they’re even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. A glass of cold milk or a hot cup of coffee complements the flavors beautifully. They’re perfect for a dessert after dinner, a special treat with friends, or a little something to brighten your day.

Conclusion

These Biscoff Brownies are a true indulgence. They’re rich, decadent, and packed with flavor. I promise, once you try them, you’ll be hooked! Don’t be afraid to experiment and make them your own. Happy baking!

FAQ

Can I use a different size baking pan?

While an 8×8 inch pan is ideal, you can use a 9×9 inch pan. The brownies will be thinner and bake a little faster, so check for doneness around 25-30 minutes.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Yes! You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Make sure it contains xanthan gum for the best texture.

How do I store leftover brownies?

Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, or in the freezer for up to a month.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can bake the brownies a day or two in advance and store them in an airtight container.
