Homemade Biscoff Cookies Recipe
Description
This recipe combines all-purpose flour with a mix of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and cloves, balanced with baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Creaming softened butter with granulated and dark brown sugars creates a fluffy base, enhanced with vanilla extract. The flour-spice mixture is folded in slowly, resulting in a dough that may feel dry but becomes manageable after chilling for at least one hour.
Rolling the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness and cutting with a fluted rectangular cookie cutter yields uniform cookies that bake at 325°F (165°C) for 16 to 18 minutes until golden brown and crisp. The spice blend creates a warm fragrant flavor reminiscent of classic Biscoff cookies. Cooling on the baking sheet allows the cookies to firm up while retaining a pleasing snap.
These cookies can be shaped with any cutter; for ice cream sandwiches, rolling thicker and cutting rounds works well. If a fan-assisted oven is not available, baking at 350°F (180°C) with adjustments in time and pan rotation works too.
Properly softened butter is key for achieving a workable dough and ideal texture. Mixing by hand or with a handheld mixer is possible if a stand mixer is unavailable.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- ¼ teaspoon cloves ground
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter at room temperature, 8 oz/225 g
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar 1 ½ oz/42 g
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Notes
- Soften butter until it yields an indent when pressed but does not easily squish through for best creaming results.
- You can use a handheld mixer if you don't have a stand mixer, but ensure thorough creaming of butter and sugars before adding dry ingredients.
- Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness to achieve crisp cookies with a good texture.
- For ice cream sandwiches, roll thicker rounds and pair with vanilla ice cream.
- Adjust baking temperature and time if lacking a convection oven, rotating pans halfway through baking.
