Ingredients You’ll Need

Gather ’round, my sweet-toothed companions. Here’s your shopping list for deliciousness:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened. Not melted, not rock-hard. Just perfectly pliable. This is key, folks.
• ¾ cup granulated sugar. The regular white stuff.
• ¾ cup packed light brown sugar. For that chewy, caramelly goodness.
• 2 large eggs. Room temp, if you’re feeling fancy (and you should, for better results!).
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Don’t skimp here; it adds depth.
• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour. No need for the fancy stuff, just your standard kitchen staple.
• 1 teaspoon baking soda. Gives our cookies that perfect lift.
• ½ teaspoon salt. Balances all that sweetness. Trust me, it’s important.
• ¾ cup Biscoff cookie butter (speculoos spread). The star of the show!
• 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips. Creamy, dreamy contrast to the Biscoff.
• 1 cup Biscoff cookies, roughly crushed. For that extra crunch and Biscoff explosion.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. First things first: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Do it now, future you will thank you.
2. In a large bowl (or stand mixer, if you’re living the dream), cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything gets acquainted.
4. In a separate, medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Give it a good mix so everything is evenly distributed.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix! A few streaks of flour are totally fine.
6. Now for the fun part: gently fold in the Biscoff cookie butter, white chocolate chips, and the crushed Biscoff cookies. Mix until just distributed.
7. Chill the dough! This is not optional, my friend. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours. This helps prevent spreading and deepens the flavor.
8. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, leaving a couple of inches between each cookie.
9. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft. Don’t overbake! They’ll continue to set up as they cool.
10. Let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Or, you know, eat one warm. I won’t judge.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Not chilling the dough: I know, I know, instant gratification is tempting. But skipping the chill time means flatter, greasier cookies. Don’t be that person.
• Overmixing: Once you add the flour, mix just until combined. Overmixing develops the gluten too much, leading to tough cookies. We want chewy, not rubbery.
• Overbaking: Pull them out when the edges are set and lightly golden, even if the centers look a little underdone. They’ll finish baking on the hot pan. **Underbaked is better than overbaked** here!
• Skimping on ingredients: Thinking you can use less Biscoff? Or fewer chocolate chips? Rookie mistake. These cookies are all about indulgence.

Alternatives & Substitutions

• No white chocolate? Dark chocolate chips or even milk chocolate chips would be amazing here too. Honestly, any chocolate is a good chocolate in a cookie.
• Out of Biscoff spread? While the Biscoff flavor is key, you could try a different spiced cookie butter or even a smooth almond or cashew butter, though the flavor profile will obviously shift.
• No Biscoff cookies for crushing? Just skip ’em! Or, if you have some graham crackers or even digestive biscuits lying around, those could add a nice crunch.
• Brown sugar only: You can use all brown sugar for an even chewier, moister cookie, but it might be a tad too rich for some.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

• Do I *really* need to chill the dough? Yes, seriously, for the love of good cookies, chill the dough. It helps the flavors meld, prevents spreading, and gives you a thicker, chewier cookie.
• Can I use margarine instead of butter? Well, technically yes, but why hurt your soul like that? Butter provides superior flavor and texture. Treat yourself!
• How long do these cookies last? If they even make it past day one, they’ll stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
• Can I freeze the dough? Absolutely! Roll the dough into balls, then freeze them on a baking sheet. Once solid, transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding a couple of minutes to the bake time.
• What if I don’t have a stand mixer? No worries! A hand mixer works perfectly, or even good old-fashioned elbow grease with a whisk and spatula for creaming butter and sugar. Just be prepared for a minor arm workout!
• My cookies spread too much! What happened? Likely culprits: warm butter, insufficient chilling, or your oven temperature is off. Make sure everything is precise next time!
