Ingredients
For the Cookie Butter Filling
- 1/2 cup Biscoff cookie butter spread
For the Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or butterscotch chips, optional
For Topping
- 6–8 Biscoff cookies, broken into halves or pieces
- Extra Biscoff cookie butter, melted, optional
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Butter Filling
Line a small tray with parchment paper. Spoon 1–2 teaspoons of Biscoff spread onto the tray for each cookie, making 8 portions.
Freeze for 30–45 minutes, or until firm. This makes the filling easier to wrap inside the dough.
Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until a soft dough forms. Fold in the optional white chocolate or butterscotch chips.
Step 4: Stuff the Cookies
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a thick disc.
Place one frozen Biscoff filling portion in the center. Wrap the dough around the filling and pinch the edges together to seal completely.
Roll gently into a ball, making sure no filling is exposed.
Step 5: Chill the Dough
Place the stuffed cookie dough balls in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes. Chilling helps the cookies hold their shape during baking.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 6: Bake the Cookies
Arrange the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between them.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look slightly soft.
Do not overbake. The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Step 7: Add the Biscoff Topping
Immediately after baking, gently press a Biscoff cookie piece onto the top of each cookie.
For an extra indulgent finish, drizzle with melted Biscoff spread.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Tips for the Best Biscoff Stuffed Cookies
- Freeze the filling first: Firm cookie butter is much easier to wrap in dough.
- Seal the dough completely: Any gaps may allow the filling to leak out.
- Measure the dough evenly: Similar-sized cookies bake more consistently.
- Chill before baking: This helps create thick, bakery-style cookies.
- Avoid overbaking: The centers should remain soft when you remove the cookies from the oven.
- Add toppings while warm: Pressing the Biscoff cookie pieces into warm cookies helps them stick.
Variations
- Chocolate Biscoff Cookies: Add chocolate chips to the dough.
- White Chocolate Biscoff Cookies: Fold in white chocolate chips for extra sweetness.
- Extra Cookie Butter: Drizzle additional melted Biscoff spread over the cooled cookies.
- Mini Biscoff Cookies: Make smaller portions and reduce the baking time, checking them early.
How to Store Biscoff Stuffed Cookies
Room temperature: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Let them come to room temperature before serving, or warm briefly for a softer center.
Freezer: Freeze unbaked stuffed dough balls for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes and checking for doneness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use another cookie butter spread?
Yes. Any smooth speculoos-style cookie butter spread should work well in this recipe.
Why did the filling leak out?
The filling may not have been frozen enough, or the dough may not have been sealed completely. Freeze the filling until firm and pinch all seams closed before baking.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes. Prepare and stuff the dough balls, then refrigerate them overnight or freeze them for longer storage.
How do I get thick bakery-style cookies?
Use generous portions of dough, chill the stuffed dough balls, and leave enough space between cookies on the baking sheet.
Can I make these cookies without chocolate chips?
Absolutely! The chocolate chips are optional. The cookie butter filling provides plenty of flavor on its own.
