What is Biscoff?
Depending on the brand and region purchased, this spread can be known as biscoff spread, cookie butter, or Speculoos. Popular in Europe for years (especially at Christmas), Biscoff “speculoos” are crunchy, buttery cookies flavored with brown sugar and warm spices. Biscoff spread is made from these popular cookies. It’s like a sweet, thick, creamy nut-free cookie butter. You can usually find it in most major grocery stores in the peanut butter aisle. Besides today’s cookies, I love using it in these biscoff blondies and chocolate chip cookie granola bars, and as a fun alternative to peanut butter in these peanut butter filled brownie cookies.
Tell Me About these Biscoff Chocolate Chip Cookies
Texture: These brown sugared cookies are almost as chewy and soft as regular chocolate chip cookies. If you follow the recipe carefully, you’ll enjoy their thick, soft centers that hold plenty of chocolate chips in each bite. Flavor: The cookies taste like cookie butter dotted with chocolate chips. They’re sweet and buttery with brown sugar and a touch of cinnamon spice. Ease: We use softened butter in this cookie recipe which requires creaming with the sugars. This is a pretty standard step for most cookie recipes, like triple chocolate chip cookies. Just make sure you have Biscoff/cookie butter spread—you can find it in most grocery stores. If you can’t find it, you can just use peanut butter. Time: Set aside enough time to chill this cookie dough. In order for the cookies to bake properly (and for the flavors to enhance), chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. Short on time? Try these Biscoff white chocolate chip oatmeal cookies instead.
