The addition of this ingredient transforms the cookies into a decadent treat with a soft, chewy texture and a slightly crisp edge. Whether served as an after-dinner treat or savored with a cup of coffee, Biscoff Chocolate Chip Cookies are sure to impress with their unique flavor and satisfying texture.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup Biscoff spread
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- Optional: 1/2 cup crushed Biscoff cookies for extra crunch
Directions:
- Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Sheet:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
- Add Chocolate Chips and Optional Cookies:
- Fold in the chocolate chips and, if using, the crushed Biscoff cookies. Stir until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop and Bake the Cookies:
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
