Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup plain flour
- 2 tablespoons cornflour
- 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Biscoff cookies, crushed into crumbs
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup icing sugar
- 1 egg
Biscoff Buttercream Icing
- 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup Biscoff spread
- 1 1/2 cups icing sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (adjust to desired consistency)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: Crush the Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin. In a large bowl, combine the crushed cookies with the plain flour, cornflour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk thoroughly until well mixed. The cornflour helps create a soft cookie texture, while the leavening agents ensure proper rising.
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and icing sugar using an electric whisk or stand mixer. Whisk until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy. Then add the egg and continue to whisk until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing slowly to prevent overworking the dough. Mix just until combined to maintain a soft and tender cookie dough that is easy to handle.
- Shape the Cookies: Scoop the dough into 15 evenly sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. For a neater finish, use a cookie cutter to shape the cookies into perfect rounds once they are placed on the tray.
- Bake and Cool: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft and slightly underbaked. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the Biscoff Buttercream Icing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the softened butter and Biscoff spread until smooth and even. Gradually add the icing sugar, whisking in batches to avoid lumps. Add milk a tablespoon at a time if the icing is too thick, until it reaches a smooth, pipeable consistency.
- Assemble the Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cooled, fill a piping bag fitted with a round or star nozzle and pipe generous amounts of Biscoff buttercream icing onto each cookie.
- Add a Finishing Touch: Sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookie crumbs on top of the icing for extra texture and to highlight the caramelized Biscoff flavor.
Notes
- Do not overbake the cookies; they should be soft with slightly underbaked centers when removed from the oven.
- Use room temperature butter and egg to ensure even mixing and ideal dough consistency.
- Adjust the buttercream icing consistency with milk or icing sugar to get the perfect smooth, pipeable texture.
- For variation, add white or semi-sweet chocolate chips to the dough before baking.
- Cookies can be turned into sandwich cookies by spreading buttercream between two cookies.
- A sprinkle of sea salt on top of the icing creates a delightful sweet-salty flavor balance.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Both dough and baked cookies can be frozen: shape dough into balls and freeze before baking; baked cookies freeze well up to 3 months.
