Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make these bakery-style Biscoff stuffed cookies:
For the Biscoff filling:
- 280 g / 9.5 oz smooth Biscoff spread (8 heaping tablespoons, about 35 g each)
For the cookie dough:
- 225 g / 2 sticks unsalted butter, cubed
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 3 tsp cornstarch
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda (sifted if lumpy)
- ½ tsp kosher salt (reduce if using table salt)
Biscoff spice blend:
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- ½ tsp allspice powder (or mixed spice)
- ¼ tsp ginger powder
Wet ingredients:
- ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ⅓ cup caster sugar (or granulated)
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 egg yolk, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Mix-ins:
- 1 ¼ cups white chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Biscoff filling
- Scoop generous spoonfuls of Biscoff spread onto a lined tray, shaping them into discs about 1.25 cm (½ inch) thick.
- Freeze for at least 1 hour until firm enough to handle.
2. Brown the butter
- Place butter cubes in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Allow it to melt and simmer for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until foamy and golden specks appear at the bottom.
- The butter should smell nutty and rich. Immediately transfer to a heatproof bowl and let cool to room temperature.
3. Make the cookie dough
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices.
- In the cooled brown butter, mix in both sugars with a wooden spoon until smooth and caramel-like.
- Stir in the egg, yolk, and vanilla extract.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix gently until mostly combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips.
4. Assemble the cookies
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions (about 125 g each).
- Flatten each portion slightly, place a frozen Biscoff disc in the center, and wrap the dough around it to seal.
- Shape into tall domes with a flat base to prevent leakage.
5. Chill the dough
- Place the stuffed dough balls in an airtight container and refrigerate for 12–24 hours (minimum 2 hours).
- This step enhances flavor, texture, and prevents spreading.
6. Bake the cookies
- Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F (170°C fan).
- Arrange chilled cookie dough balls 7.5 cm (3 inches) apart on a parchment-lined tray.
- Bake for 18–19 minutes until edges are golden but centers are still pale and soft.
- Immediately press extra white chocolate chips onto the tops for a bakery-style finish.
- Let cool on the tray for 20 minutes before serving.
About the Recipe
What Makes These Cookies Special?
The combination of browned butter, warm spices, and gooey Biscoff filling creates a depth of flavor that regular cookies can’t compete with. Browning the butter enhances its nuttiness, while the cornstarch keeps the texture soft and chewy. The frozen Biscoff centers ensure a molten surprise in every bite.
Variations to Try
- Different spreads: Swap Biscoff with Nutella, peanut butter, or dulce de leche for a fun twist.
- Chocolate swap: Use dark or milk chocolate chips instead of white for a richer flavor.
- Mini cookies: Make smaller portions for bite-sized treats—just reduce the baking time accordingly.
Helpful Tips
- Don’t skip chilling the dough. The longer rest develops flavor and prevents flat cookies.
- Ensure the browned butter is completely cooled before adding sugars to avoid melting them prematurely.
- If making ahead, you can freeze the stuffed dough balls after chilling for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen with a few extra minutes.
