Ingredients

These fudgy Biscoff brownies are packed with Biscoff flavor! Made with a rich chocolate brownie base, a layer of gooey cookie butter, and Biscoff cookies on top.

For the Brownie Base

  • 3/4 cup Biscoff cookie butter
  • 1/2 cup light or dark brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup + 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch cocoa powder
  • 2/3 cup + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (see notes below on measuring)
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

For Topping

  • 4-5 Biscoff cookies (for the top)
  • Extra cookie butter (for the top)

How to Make Biscoff Brownies

Step 1: Prepare the Parchment Paper

Press a large piece of parchment paper into a square metal 8×8 baking pan. Crease the bottom edges so you can see the outline when removing it later. Spread an even layer of cookie butter inside the creased edges, then chill it in the freezer until firm.

Step 2: Preheat the Oven

Line the baking pan with parchment paper hanging off all four sides for easy removal. Preheat your oven to 350 F/180 C.

Step 3: Mix Sugar and Eggs

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugars, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4: Melt Butter and Chocolate

Melt the butter and chocolate chips together until smooth. Then whisk in the cocoa powder. Combine this melted mixture with the egg mixture until just blended.

Step 5: Add Dry Ingredients

Fold in the flour, espresso powder, and salt gently until just combined—be careful not to overmix.

Step 6: Layering

Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly to cover the edges (about 340 grams). Place your frozen cookie butter square on top, peeling off any parchment paper. Pour the remaining batter over this layer and spread evenly.

Step 7: Add Toppings

Break up Biscoff cookies into pieces and press them into the batter’s surface. Warm 2 tablespoons of cookie butter in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds until runny; then drizzle it over everything.

Step 8: Bake

Bake in your preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow cooling completely on a wire rack before removing from pan.

Step 9: Enjoy!

Drizzle more cookie butter on top before cutting if desired! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to one month.

How to Serve Biscoff Brownies

These fudgy Biscoff brownies are not only delicious on their own, but they can also be enhanced with some creative serving ideas. Whether you want to impress guests or indulge yourself, consider these delightful serving suggestions.

A La Mode

  • Add a scoop of vanilla or caramel ice cream on top of the brownies for a warm and cold treat combination that enhances the rich chocolate flavor.
  • For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle more warmed cookie butter over the top of the brownies before serving. This adds a gooey sweetness that pairs perfectly with the chocolate.

With Whipped Coconut Cream

  • Serve your brownies with a dollop of whipped coconut cream. It’s a light, dairy-free option that complements the richness of the brownies beautifully.

Topped with Fresh Berries

  • Garnish your brownies with fresh berries like raspberries or strawberries. The tartness of the fruit balances the sweetness and adds a pop of color to your dessert.

Accompanied by Hot Coffee

  • Pair your brownies with a warm cup of coffee. The bitterness of coffee complements the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor experience.

How to Perfect Biscoff Brownies

Creating perfect Biscoff brownies requires attention to detail and a few helpful tips. Follow these suggestions for an irresistible batch every time.

  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your eggs and butter are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
  • Don’t Overmix: Mix just until combined when adding flour to avoid tough brownies. This keeps them fudgy and soft.
  • Check Your Oven Temperature: Use an oven thermometer to ensure accurate baking temperatures; this prevents undercooking or overbaking.
  • Let Them Cool Completely: Allowing the brownies to cool fully in the pan helps set their texture, making them easier to cut into clean squares.
  • Use Parchment Paper: Lining your pan with parchment paper creates easy removal and prevents sticking.

Best Side Dishes for Biscoff Brownies

Biscoff brownies can be complemented by several side dishes that enhance their flavors and create a well-rounded dessert experience. Consider these options:

  1. Vanilla Ice Cream: A classic pairing that adds creaminess and balances out the fudginess of the brownies.
  2. Chocolate Sauce: Drizzling warm chocolate sauce enhances the brownie experience and adds another layer of chocolatey goodness.
  3. Fruit Salad: A light fruit salad provides refreshing contrast, cutting through the richness of the brownies.
  4. Nutella Dip: Serve with a small bowl of Nutella for dipping, creating an indulgent treat perfect for sharing.
  5. Caramel Sauce: A drizzle of caramel sauce brings a sweet, buttery flavor that complements both chocolate and cookie butter.
  6. Coffee Mousse: Light coffee mousse offers an elegant touch while pairing beautifully with chocolate desserts.
  7. Yogurt Parfait: Layer yogurt with granola and berries for a lighter side that’s still satisfying alongside rich brownies.
  8. Chai Tea: A warm cup of chai tea provides spices that enhance flavors in desserts, complementing the Biscoff taste perfectly.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Making Biscoff brownies is simple, but there can be a few common missteps.

  • Boldly Overmixing: Mixing the batter too much can lead to dense brownies. Mix just until combined for a light, fudgy texture.
  • Incorrect Measurements: Not measuring ingredients accurately can throw off the recipe. Use a kitchen scale or measuring cups carefully to ensure precision.
  • Skipping the Chilling Step: Failing to chill the cookie butter layer may result in it melting into the brownie batter. Be sure to chill until firm for distinct layers.
  • Underbaking: Taking brownies out too early can leave them gooey in the middle. Bake until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
  • Not Using Parchment Paper: Skipping parchment can make it hard to remove brownies from the pan. Always line your baking pan for easy removal.
