Biscoff Butter Cookie FAQ

What flavor is Biscoff cookie butter?

Biscoff cookie butter has a rich, toasted caramel flavor. It's delicious in this recipe because it adds a depth to the cookie without being excessively sweet.

Why are there so many salted ingredients in these cookies?

Have you ever entered into a salty-sweet-salty-sweet snacking session that feels impossible to break free from? This cookie is the solution to that problem--it simultaneously slays your sweet and salty cravings.

Crispy vs. chewy Biscoff butter cookie: Which is better?

I'm convinced that a person's stance on crispy vs. chewy cookies comes down to the way their mom or grandma made their cookies. My mom has always loved a crispy cookie with tons of chopped nuts, so naturally, I've followed suit.

Why should I cool cookies on newspaper or a paper bag?

Cooling cookies on newspaper helps absorbs any extra fat on the bottom of the cookies, helping achieve that perfect crispiness. We don't have newspapers lying around like we did in the 90s, but a paper grocery bag works just as well.

The Dietitian's Nutrient Notes

Portion Size Matters

I purposely created this recipe to make half the cookies that a normal batch would, for the sake of being mindful; having 36 delicious cookies sitting around, calling your name, makes mindful eating tough! 18 cookies is the perfect amount to satisfy your sweet-and-salty tooth over several days, and share with the ones you love.

If you're looking to be even more strict with your portion size, bake just 6 cookies on a half-sized cookie sheet.

Ball the rest of the dough into 12 cookie-sized portions and freeze them on a cookie sheet. Transfer to a freezer-safe Ziploc bag or container, and bake a couple whenever you get a Biscoff butter cookie craving.

Managing Sodium Intake

This recipe has several sources of sodium--salted butter, salted dark chocolate, the Biscoff butter, and flaked sea salt as a garnish.

This may seem like an excessive amount of salt, but that's exactly how we achieve the salty-sweet combo these Biscoff butter cookies are known for.

If you're watching your sodium intake, simply swap in unsalted dark chocolate and leave out the flaked sea salt garnish. This will bring the sodium content down to 57mg per cookie.

How to Perfectly Reheat a Cookie

If you LOVE a crispy cookie, you know how hard it is to achieve that "fresh out of the oven" crispiness once the cookie has cooled. I've found that using a toaster oven to reheat cookies achieves the best result. Here's how:

1. Set the toaster oven to "Bake" mode.
2. Pop the cookie directly onto the wire rack.
3. Warm for about 1 minute. *Watch it closely--the edges tend to burn quickly if you leave it in for too long.
4. Immediately remove from the toaster oven and let cool for a couple seconds. *Don't eat it right away, you'll burn your tongue.

Biscoff Butter Cookie Bonus Tips

• Bring the butter to room temperature. It's much easier to cream the butter & sugar, and there won't be any lumps.

• When using a stand mixer, use a rubber scraper to frequently scrape down the sides of the bowl. Because this is a smaller batch, it's important that all the ingredients are incorporated evenly throughout the dough.

This cookie recipe has not one, but TWO different kinds of butter in it, which makes it one of my favorites. It's perfect for the butter-loving, dark chocolate-eating, crispy cookie-loving people in your life. Enjoy!

All my love & a little butter,
