Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick or 113 g) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup (118 g) Biscoff cookie butter
  • 2/3 cup (125 g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (55 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • scant 1/2 tsp baking soda (about 3/8 tsp)
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 3/4 cups (225–230 g) all-purpose flour

Optional Add-Ins & Finish

  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup (80–120 g) white chocolate chunks
  • Crushed Biscoff cookies
  • Melted Biscoff cookie butter (for drizzle)
  • Flaky salt

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: Add the butter to a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the butter foams, milk solids turn golden brown, and it smells nutty and caramel-like. Remove from heat immediately. Let cool until no longer warm but still soft/liquid.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the brown butter, 118g Biscoff cookie butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. Mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the optional white chocolate chunks or crushed Biscoff cookies if using.
  6. Chill the Dough: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better).
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Scoop into dough balls and flatten each ball slightly.
  9. Bake 8–11 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers still look slightly soft. (They may look slightly underdone—that's perfect).
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before moving. Drizzle with melted Biscoff cookie butter and finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt.
