Lotus Biscoff Cookies have been gaining in popularity recently. It's understandable because they are delicious. When I saw a big package at Costco, I grabbed it with the intention of playing around with them in a whole assortment of recipes.

After that, I just had to try Lotus cookie butter next. These Biscoff cookie butter cookies were the happy result. A little more experimenting and this Biscoff Fudge, Biscoff Truffles Recipe, and our Biscoff Milkshake were created!

Ingredients

• Egg - Egg is the binding agent in these cookies.
• Biscoff Cookie Butter Spread - This Lotus Biscoff spread is made from ground-up speculoos cookies for a smooth spread with a sweet, warmly spiced flavor.
• Brown Sugar - I use light brown sugar for a mild molasses flavor. I prefer it here over granulated sugar because of the extra flavor and moisture it adds.
• Maple Syrup - Adding a bit of pure maple syrup gives the cookies a great texture and warm flavor.
• Salted Butter - I use salted butter when baking. If you use unsalted butter, add an extra pinch of salt. Just make sure that either way you use room-temperature butter so it mixes in easily.
• Vanilla Extract - Vanilla enhances the other flavors.
• Flour - Regular all-purpose flour is all you need.
• Cornstarch - A little cornstarch helps give the cookies a soft, tender texture.
• Cinnamon - Cinnamon enhances the flavor of the cookie butter.
• Baking Soda - Baking soda helps the cookies spread and brown as they bake.
• Salt - An extra pinch of salt also enhances the other flavors.

How to Make Biscoff Butter Cookies

This is an easy cookie recipe that only requires a bowl and a rubber spatula or wooden spoon!

Step One: Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

Step Two: Mix in the creamy cookie butter and the rest of the ingredients. Scrape the sides to ensure the dough mixture is thoroughly combined.

Step Three: Use a medium cookie scoop to portion the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step Four: Bake until the edges are lightly browned. Let the cookies cool before transferring them from the baking sheet.

The finished cookies should be lightly crisp around the edges with soft, chewy centers.

Variations

• Chocolate Chips - We prefer adding white chocolate chips, but you can add milk chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate chips, or even dark chocolate chips. Cookie butter chocolate chip cookies are amazing.
• White Chocolate Drizzle - This looks really pretty. Just melt some white chocolate, thin it with a little oil, and drizzle it over the cooled cookies.
• Fillings - Cream cheese frosting, buttercream frosting, or even just some of the cookie butter is amazing sandwiched between two cookies.
• Cookie Butter - I have only tested this recipe with Biscoff brand, but other brands of speculoos cookie butter should be fine to use. Trader Joe's Speculoos Cookie Butter is another popular option, although a different consistency could slightly change the finished cookies.
