Biscoff Toffee Cookies - crisp outer edges and chewy centers combined with the delicious Biscoff flavor and buttery, caramely toffee bits. Oh my!
There I was, at the market picking up a few groceries. You'll never believe what happened. When I got to the check-out. I was minding my own business, unloading my cart and low and behold, I spotted a familiar, red and white jar. What in the world?
To my great surprise (why is my nose growing?), it was a jar of Biscoff , you know, that delicious creamy spread made from European Speculos cookies. Even worse (or better - depending on your perspective) was a bag of Heath Bit's of Brickle (another one of my weaknesses). Does stuff ever leap into your cart like that when you're innocently strolling through the grocery store?
Seriously, if you're not familiar with Biscoff, you're missing out on something wonderful! These delightful cookies have been made in Belgium since the 1930's and are a favorite sweet treat all over the globe. Several prominent airlines purchase them in mass quantity to distribute on their flights and folks young and old, get excited when the flight attendants distribute the small red and white packages.
In recent years Biscoff has come up with a fabulous creamy spread with the same well-loved cookie flavor. This spread is amazing straight out of the jar or on crackers, crusty bread, crisp apples, bananas, etc. It's also a huge hit in baked goods like these Biscoff Toffee Cookies.
I had fun testing and tweaking this recipe for Biscoff Toffee Cookies till I got it just right. I think you'll love these cookies with crisp outer edges and chewy centers. In addition to the delicious Biscoff spread, they're loaded with buttery, caramely toffee bits. The toffee bits melt as the cookies bake and add a heavenly flavor. I scooped up the dough, formed it into balls and rolled them in turbinado (coarse) sugar. The aroma, as they bake, will be sure to drive your neighbors crazy and I must say (from personal experience), they're quite addictively delicious!
The recipe makes a ton of cookies (I got 5 dozen medium size cookies), so it'd be perfect for a summer picnic or neighborhood celebration. They'll fly off the platter like hot cakes and you'll hear comments like: "Who made those crinkly crackly cookies?" and "Have you tried these fabulous cookies?" floating through the air. You might want to make some extra copies of the recipe!
P.S. You can find Biscoff in the peanut butter section at many larger grocers. I also purchase it at my local Super Walmart and it's available online. You'll find Bits of Brickle (the toffee bits) in the chocolate chip section of the market. Again, it's available at Super Walmart.

I happened across this recipe and made the cookies yesterday. The flavors are perfectly balanced and the cookies look exactly as pictured. Crispy edges, soft centers, and the turbinado sugar lends a wonderful, gentle crunch. I was not aware of Biscoff butter and it truly is a treat. Thank you for posting this great recipe!
Chris Scheuer says
Yay! Thanks so much, Jaydee, for sharing your results. I had forgotten about these cookies!
Aislinn says
These cookies are fantastic, and the big batch was perfect for taking to a cookie swap. 🙂 SO good!!!
Chris Scheuer says
Thanks Aislinn! I don't know what it is about Biscoff, but that flavor is so great!
Beth says
Stupid question - should the butter be softened?

Shayla says
I made these last night. They are amazing. Thank you. Perfect texture. And easy to whip up. Everyone LOVED them at work today. I have an empty container to prove it.
Erin @ Dinners, Dishes, and Desserts says
Love Biscoff and I love toffee, these cookies look fantastic!
It is amazing what ends up in my cart sometimes....I go for just veggies and fruit, and come home with chocolate and sugar 🙂

I'd never heard of Biscoff but found it easily at Publix. Made these last night. They were easy and looked just like the photo. I can't quite describe the taste of Biscoff yet, but the cookies were delicious. I especially liked the little crunch of Bits'O Brickle. (Know I'm know not supposed to eat raw dough, but it was yummy, too.)
Chris Scheuer says
I'm so glad you liked these and found the Biscoff. It is hard to describe the flavor but I assure you, once you try it, it won't be the last time, for sure!

Chris, I love baking with Biscoff cookie spread and I always, always make sure to pick up way too many jars when we visitBelgium - your cookie recipe looks so wonderful, I love that warm brown color they have, they already look fabulous, I can just imagine how terrific they must taste! I am sure that they would make a lot of peolple in my life happy!
Lisa {Authentic Suburban Gourmet } says
I have yet to cook with Biscoff! I think this recipe is going to be the one I use to test out this popular treat. Chris - these cookies sound divine!! Thank you for sharing!!

Can you believe that I haven't tasted Biscoff or cookie butter yet? But no worries, my family is coming from the States this weekend, and I've asked them to bring me a jar of Trader Joe's Speculoos or Biscoff! I need to compare which one is better, hehehe! Making Biscoff cookies is such a great idea!
Dining Alone says
I think this is the stuff that Trader Joes calls Cookie Butter, and I NEED to try it! These cookies look delicious. Oh, and most stuff jumps in my cart when my husband comes to the store with me 🙂
Wendy says
I think Biscoff spread should come with a warning on the label! It is definitely addictive! I am just as happy with it on a spoon as I am baking with it. Baking with it is better because then I can give the cookies away. 🙂 These look wonderful, Chris, and have my favorite chewy crunchy texture. Though not all of Trader Joe's products hit the mark (their Biscoff imitation cookies are yucky in my opinion) their cookie butter tastes and bakes almost exactly like Biscoff. Also, for the international readers who can't get toffee bits or Biscoff butter: toffee bits are very easy to make (I do it all the time due to tree nut allergies), and cookie butter can be made combining ground Biscoff cookies with butter (I learned this from a French blogging friend).

I need to pick up another jar of Biscoff spread--then I can make these yummy cookies!!!
Patty Price says
I would not mind at all if a jar of Biscoff jumped in my shopping cart and brought a few of his friends along for the ride, like Bits of Brickle! Delicious looking cookies Chris;-) Have a wonderful weekend!
Gloria Baker says
these cookies look wonderful!!!
Kathy says
I love Biscoff spread. These cookies would be a huge hit with my grandchildren. Totally delicious looking!
Munatycooking says
These cookies are screaming deliciousness! Oh, and with Biscoff, I'm addicted already 🙂
Julia | JuliasAlbum.com says
I love how crackly these cookies are! They would go so good with a cup of hot tea on a cold morning!
twodogsinthekitchen says
These sound wonderful! The pictures are so perfect too 🙂
GLENDA CHILDERS says
Trader Joes has a cookie spread, as well. It probably won't have that same flavor. Is it molasses that makes them so good? I have been on plane, munching those delicious cookies and wondered what is in them. 🙂
I want to go grocery shopping with you,Chris.
Fondly,
Glenda
Chris Scheuer says
Glenda, I forgot to mention the TJ cookies butter but I think it would be just as good. Most of the replica recipes for Biscoff cookies don't have molasses just lots of wonderful spices but I'm not sure what the real deal is 🙂 So you like my magical shopping cart? I'll try to slip one for you in my luggage next time I visit Chicago!
Denise Browning@From Brazil To You says
I love how you emphasize the deliciousness of your food, Chris! The photos are gorgeous as always. I could have a whole pile of these cookies...Happiness would be on my face!!!
