These Biscoff Chocolate Chip Cookies are chewy with crisp edges, gooey centers, and packed with that signature caramelized Biscoff flavor. The dough gets a double dose of cookie butter goodness from creamy Biscoff spread and crushed Biscoff cookies. Semisweet chocolate chips bring just the right hint of bitterness to balance the sweetness, making these cookies downright crave-worthy.
Cream the butter and Biscoff spread - Add cooled melted butter, Biscoff cookie butter and brown sugar to the stand mixer bowl and beat with the paddle attachment for 2-3 minutes until light in color and creamy.
4 oz unsalted butter, ½ cup Biscoff cookie butter, ¾ cup light brown sugar
Add the remaining wet ingredients - Add the egg, vanilla extract, and continue beating for another 2-3 minutes until fluffy.
1 large egg, ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Mix in dry ingredients - In another mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir in the kosher salt and give it a good mix to distribute. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredient mixture in the stand mixer bowl, stir until incorporated. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary.
1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon baking powder
Add mix-ins - Add the chocolate chips, Biscoff cookie pieces and stir to incorporate. Stop the mixer and scrape down the bowl with a spatula and give it another good mix as needed. TIP: If the cookie dough is too soft at this stage, you may want to refrigerate it for about 30 minutes to firm it up some to make dividing easier otherwise move on to the next step.
8 Biscoff cookies, ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
Divide the dough - Portion the cookie dough with a quarter-cup cookie scoop and place them on a lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least one hour. TIP: Since we use melted butter in the cookie dough, we want to give the fat enough time to solidify before baking so the cookies don’t spread too much.
Preheat the oven - Set the oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F when you are ready to bake.
Bake - Place 6 dough balls on a baking sheet, about 2 inches apart, and bake 1 batch at a time for 14-15 minutes, until the outer edges of the cookies turn golden brown and the middle is still slightly underbaked.
Optional step to keep them round - Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately take a round cookie cutter, larger than your cookies, place it over the baked cookies, one at a time, and swirl it around in a circular motion as if swirling a glass of wine. This will gather the cookies up and make them perfectly round. You can also take a spatula and scoot the edges in to shape them.
Cool - Set the baking sheet on a wire rack and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Then, move them to a wire rack to cool completely. TIP: The cookies will continue baking with the residual heat while they are cooling on the baking sheet.
Add finishing touch - Microwave the additional Biscoff spread for 15 seconds, stir with a spoon to make sure it is runny enough to pour. Drizzle warm cookie butter over the baked cookies and serve.

Notes
Measure flour properly, spoon and level: for this recipe, make sure to spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level with the back of a knife. This will result in less flour per cup than if you were to scoop the flour with your measuring cup and then level.
Pack the brown sugar lightly: because brown sugar is moist, the amount can differ depending on how you pack it in your measuring cup. For this recipe, we want to pack it ever so lightly so we don’t use too much sugar in the cookie dough since the cookie butter as well as the chocolate chips will provide additional sweetness.
For smaller cookies: use a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop and reduce baking time to about 12 minutes.
Storing baked cookies: keep your Biscoff chocolate chip cookies in an airtight container for 3-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature for a few hours before serving.
Storing cookie dough: cookie dough can be refrigerate for 3-4 days before baking or freeze for 3-6 months. You can bake directly from the freezer without thawing. Simply increase baking time by about 1 – 2 minutes.
