What is Biscoff?

Biscoff is a cookie spread made from speculoos cookies. The spread is sometimes called lotus biscoff or cookie butter. It has a spiced caramel flavour. There is a crunchy version or a smooth version, which is a peanut butter-like spread. The smooth version is best for this recipe.

What is a slice and bake cookie?

Slice and bake cookies are cookies that don’t require cookie shapes cutters or a rolling pin. Instead of using cookie cutters, the cookie batter is rolled into a log and placed in the fridge or freezer to firm up, once firm you can slice it into rounds and bake. They’re a great option to try if it’s one of your first recipes.

Is this recipe for homemade Biscoff Cookies?

No, this isn’t a homemade biscoff cookie recipe, instead it has it’s own unique flavor like a crisp spice cookie with a rich buttery flavor.

Expert Tips for Cookie Butter Cookies

Ensure the butter is softened for easy beating with the sugar and Biscoff.

Measure flour correctly by fluffing up the flour with your flour scoop before scooping.

Roll the dough evenly into a log so that the cookies end up an even size.

If the cookie dough is too hard to cut after freezing, leave it for 5-10 mins to soften slightly before cutting.

Cut the slices evenly, approximately 1cm thick.

Use compound chocolate for decorating – compound chocolate is chocolate that does not include cocoa butter in the ingredients, it is not real chocolate and can set once melted. It is sometimes referred to as melting chocolate or melts. The best way to check is by reading the ingredients and making sure there is no cocoa butter. Real chocolate needs to be tempered where as compound chocolate does not making it easier to use for things like this.

Decoration Ideas

  • Nothing – these taste great on their own, you don’t need to add any decorations if you don’t want to
  • Drizzle with chocolate and top with nuts – pecans and walnuts would work really well with the spiced flavour
  • Drizzle with milk chocolate or white chocolate for contrast
  • Dip the cookies in chocolate instead of drizzling
  • Drizzle with extra Biscoff spread
  • Dip or drizzle with chocolate and lotus biscuit that’s been crushed into fine crumbs
  • Decorate with sprinkles for a fun touch
  • You could press chocolate chips into the cookies before baking
