Why These Biscoff Toffee Cookies Are an Absolute Must-Make
In a world overflowing with cookie recipes, these Biscoff Toffee Cookies stand out. If you’re searching for something extraordinary to elevate your baking, look no further. Here’s why these cookies deserve a top spot on your baking list:
- A Unique Biscoff Experience: Let’s clarify one thing right away: these aren’t the classic Lotus Biscoff Cookies you might enjoy on an airline flight. Instead, these are magnificent cookies crafted *with* Biscoff Cookie Butter, infusing every morsel with that unmistakable, warmly spiced, caramelized flavor that Biscoff lovers adore. It’s a deeper, richer, and more integrated Biscoff experience.
- Irresistible Toffee Inclusion: Beyond the incredibly flavorful dough enriched with cookie butter, these cookies are generously loaded with chunks of Heath Bars. These aren’t just plain toffee bits; they’re chocolate-covered toffee, adding an extra layer of chocolatey richness and a delightful, buttery crunch that perfectly complements the soft, chewy cookie base. The combination creates an explosion of texture and taste that is truly addictive.
- A Refreshing Departure from the Norm: If you find yourself in a constant cycle of baking chocolate chip cookies (as delicious as they are!), these Biscoff Toffee Cookies offer a refreshing and exciting alternative. They introduce a new dimension of flavor to your cookie repertoire, ensuring your cookie jar is never boring. They are undeniably delicious and will impress even the most discerning cookie connoisseurs.
- Perfect for Any Occasion: From casual family desserts to impressive party favors, these cookies are versatile. Their unique flavor profile makes them a conversation starter, while their comforting taste ensures they’re always a crowd-pleaser. They travel well, freeze beautifully, and are an excellent choice for gifting or sharing.
Expert Baking Tips for Flawless Biscoff Toffee Cookies
Achieving cookie perfection is easier than you think with these professional tips. Follow these guidelines to ensure your Biscoff Toffee Cookies turn out incredibly delicious and perfectly textured every single time.
- Locating Biscoff Spread: You’ll typically find Biscoff Spread (also known as Speculoos spread) in the baking aisle of larger supermarkets, often situated near the peanut butter, jams, or other sweet spreads. If you can’t find Biscoff brand, look for generic “cookie butter” which offers a similar, delightful flavor.
- PRO-Tip for Measuring Biscoff: Cookie butter can be quite sticky! To ensure an easy release and accurate measurement, lightly spray your measuring cup with a non-stick cooking spray (like Pam) before scooping out the Biscoff spread. This simple trick will save you time and prevent sticky messes.
- The Right Mixer Attachment: For optimal cookie dough consistency, always use the paddle attachment on your stand mixer. The paddle gently mixes the ingredients without overworking the gluten in the flour, which can lead to tough cookies. It also minimizes the incorporation of excess air into the dough, resulting in a more tender, chewier cookie rather than a cakey one.
- Uniform Cookie Size with a Scoop: For professional-looking cookies that bake evenly, invest in a medium cookie scoop (about 1.5 to 2 tablespoons). Scooping uniform balls of dough ensures that all your cookies finish baking at roughly the same time, preventing some from being undercooked or overbaked. This leads to a consistent texture across the entire batch.
- Don’t Overmix: Once you add the flour, mix only until *just* combined. Overmixing the dough develops the gluten too much, which can make your cookies tough. A few streaks of flour are fine; they will disappear during baking.
- Parchment Paper is Your Friend: Always line your baking sheets with parchment paper. This prevents sticking, promotes even baking, and makes for super easy cleanup. Silicone baking mats also work wonderfully.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This initial cooling helps them set and prevents them from breaking. Fully cooled cookies also have a better texture.
Frequently Asked Questions About Biscoff Toffee Cookies
Here are some common questions about cookie butter and making these delightful toffee-filled treats:
Cookie Butter is a sweet, spreadable treat made from finely ground crisp, spiced shortbread cookies. The most popular versions are made from Speculoos or Biscoff cookies. As these cookies are ground, the oils within them are released, transforming the mixture into a smooth, creamy, and spreadable “butter” with a distinctive gingerbread-like spice and caramelized flavor. It’s often compared to peanut butter in its consistency but offers a completely different, unique taste experience.
Cookie Butter is incredibly versatile! It can be used just like peanut butter or Nutella. It’s fantastic spread on toast, pancakes, waffles, or fruit. In baking, it’s a star ingredient for adding its signature flavor to cookies, cakes, brownies, cheesecakes, and various bar cookies. It can also be swirled into milkshakes, added to frosting, or simply enjoyed straight from the spoon!
Absolutely! Both crunchy and creamy Biscoff spread will work beautifully in this recipe. The choice is yours and depends on your preference. Crunchy Biscoff will add an extra layer of texture from the finely ground cookie pieces within the spread, while creamy Biscoff will yield a slightly smoother dough and a more uniform texture. Both will deliver the amazing Biscoff flavor these cookies are known for.
If Heath Bars aren’t available, don’t worry! You can use other chocolate-covered toffee bars or even plain toffee bits. Look for brands like Skor bars, or simply use a bag of pre-packaged toffee bits (often found in the baking aisle). If using plain toffee bits, you might consider adding a handful of mini chocolate chips alongside them to mimic the chocolate coating of a Heath bar.
Once completely cooled, store your Biscoff Toffee Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5-7 days. To keep them fresh for longer, you can freeze them. Arrange baked and cooled cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They will keep well for up to 2-3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

Biscoff Toffee Cookies
20 minutes
14 minutes
34 minutes
36 cookies
Crafted with the unique flavor of cookie butter and generously filled with crunchy toffee chunks, these cookies offer an unparalleled taste experience!
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup Biscoff Spread (either crunchy or creamy variety)
- ½ cup shortening
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 8 ounces of Heath bars, roughly chopped into chunks
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper for easy release and cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, Biscoff spread, shortening, and softened butter. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the pure vanilla extract until just incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the flour is just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix. Once the dough comes together, gently fold in the chopped Heath bar chunks by hand.
- Using a medium cookie scoop (approximately 1.5 to 2 tablespoons), roll the dough into uniform balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. This helps them set and prevents them from breaking.
Yield: Approximately 3-4 dozen cookies, depending on the size of your scoops.
Total time: Approximately 1.5 hours, including baking and cooling time.
Chef’s Notes & Pro Tips
For an extra touch of sweetness and a delightfully crisp exterior, consider rolling your dough balls in granulated sugar before placing them on the baking sheet. This creates a sparkling finish and an appealing texture contrast. You can also experiment with other mix-ins like white chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for added complexity.

These cookies have a storied past in my own kitchen! I once brought a batch along on a “Great RV Road Trip” – a memorable journey moving my parents from Iowa to Colorado. Amidst the chaos of packing and unpacking, the cookie container was temporarily forgotten, buried under other essentials. Days later, my sister unearthed these delightful Biscoff toffee cookies and was instantly hooked, insisting on knowing the recipe. I even pulled more from my freezer stash to share with my knitting group, where they, too, received universal acclaim. They are truly fantastic as they are, but for those who enjoy a little extra, my friend Chris suggested rolling them in sugar before baking for a sweet, crispy exterior – a yummy option indeed! And don’t hesitate to get creative with your additions; I can easily envision tossing in some chocolate chips, dried cherries, or any of your favorite cookie mix-ins to make them uniquely yours. The possibilities are endless when it comes to these beloved cookies!
