What Is Biscoff Cookie Butter?

Biscoff cookie butter is a creamy, spreadable spread made from crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies. It has a rich caramelized flavor with hints of cinnamon and warm spices, giving it a unique taste that’s somewhere between a cookie and a dessert spread.

Unlike peanut butter, Biscoff spread is made from cookies rather than nuts, making it perfect for adding sweet, spiced flavor to baked goods. In these Biscoff M&M Cookies, the cookie butter creates an extra-soft texture while adding that unmistakable Biscoff flavor in every bite.

Helpful Recipe Tips

A few simple tips can help you bake perfectly soft and chewy Biscoff M&M cookies every time.

• Lightly spray your measuring cup before measuring the cookie butter for easier scooping and less mess.
• Use room-temperature butter so it creams smoothly with the sugars.
• Mix the dough just until the flour disappears to avoid tough cookies.
• Reserve a handful of M&M’s to press onto the tops before baking for a bakery style look.
• Don’t overbake. The centers should still look slightly soft when you remove them from the oven.
• Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes so they can finish setting.
• For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 15 to 20 minutes before scooping and baking.
• Store Biscoff spread at room temperature so it’s easy to mix into the dough, otherwise slightly warm it up in the microwave for 10 -15 seconds.
