Ingredients
Scale
Spice Mix and Flavorings
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar, packed
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for GF version)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Start by creaming the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract and the speculoos spice mix (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger). Gradually add the dry ingredients, including the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt, and combine until a well-incorporated dough forms.
- Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour. This allows the cookies to retain their shape during baking and helps the flavors meld beautifully.
- Shape the Cookies: Once chilled, roll the dough into small balls or use cookie cutters to create your desired shapes. Place the shaped cookies evenly spaced on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool slightly on the tray before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Enjoy or Store: Once fully cooled, enjoy your Biscoff Cookies immediately or store them in an airtight container for later snacking.
Notes
- Use room-temperature butter for better mixing and optimum cookie texture.
- Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies; mix just until combined.
- Chilling the dough is essential to maintain shape and enhance flavor.
- Space cookies evenly on the baking tray to prevent sticking and allow expansion.
- Monitor baking time closely to avoid overbaking, which can result in a hard texture and dull flavor.
