Key Ingredients for Cookie Butter Cookies
Butter | I used salted butter, you may use unsalted butter; just add ¼ teaspoon additional salt.
Sugar | I used light brown sugar and all-natural cane sugar to give it the best chew, white sugar is fine to use also.
Cookie Butter | I tested using Lotus Biscoff Cookie Butter and Trader Joe’s Speculoos Cookie Butter. Use your favorite brand of cookie butter. I also tested using creamy and crunchy, they both work great.
Vanilla | No cookie is complete without vanilla extract.
Eggs | I use large eggs in all of my baking, bring them to room temperature before adding to the recipe, they will incorporate better into the dough.
Flour | All-purpose flour gives the cookie its soft structure. I use unbleached all-purpose flour.
Baking soda and powder | Leavening agents are what help the cookies rise. Make sure yours is fresh, if your cookies are flat, it could be your baking soda or powder.
Salt | We will add a little kosher salt to enhance flavors and optional fleur de sel or flaky sea salt to sprinkle on top after baking.
How to Make Biscoff Stuffed Cookies Recipe
Step 1 | Scoop Cookie Butter Balls and Freeze
Scoop about 24 1-tablespoon dollops of cookie butter onto the prepared baking sheet. I like using a small cookie scoop for this. Transfer to the freezer and let them chill for about half an hour or until firm. This will use up most of a jar of cookie butter.
Fresh Tips
- I found it easier to wrap a cookie butter ball with the dough, I used a small scoop for the best results. You can also use a spoon and do a quick roll with your hands before adding to the cookie dough.
Preheat the oven to 350° F (175° C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Step 2 | Make Cookie Butter Cookie Batter
In the meantime, combine the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer or use a hand mixer. Beat with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes until creamed and light and fluffy.
Add the leftover (about ½-1 cup) cookie butter to the batter and mix until combined. Set aside a couple of tablespoons to drizzle on top of the cookies at the end, if desired.
Then, crack two large eggs into the bowl, add the vanilla extract, and beat for one minute on medium-high speed.
Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt in a medium bowl. Then, with the mixer on low add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, about ⅓ of a cup at a time. Mixing on low until fully incorporated, scrape the sides of the bowl if needed. The dough will be on the soft.
Step 3 | Stuff Cookie Dough Balls
Next, divide the cookie dough into 24 balls using a medium to large cookie scoop. Remove the firm cookie butter scoops from the freezer (see tips below).
Wrap the soft cookie dough around a scoop of cookie butter, ensuring it is completely and evenly covered. Place on parchment-lined cookie sheets, I could only fit about 8 on a sheet.
Cookie Butter Tips
- Cookie butter will soften quickly when you pull it from the freezer; work in batches, only removing the number of cookie butter balls you need for the cookies you are baking.
- If you are stuffing all of your cookies at once, place them on a parchment-lined pan in the fridge until ready to bake.
Bake cookies in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
Baking time will vary based on your oven and altitude adjustments; mine were perfect at 11 minutes at high altitude, and my sea level tester found them better at 12 minutes; start checking at about 9 minutes. They should no longer be shiny on top, with a hint of golden brown. Don’t overbake.
Finally, allow the baked cookies to cool on the baking sheet for two minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.
Oven Temps
Ovens vary in temperature, know your oven! If your cookies are flat, or cakey it could be due to your oven temp being off. Most ovens run 25° hot or cold. Use an oven thermometer to determine if yours is off.

Variations & Substitutions
Drizzle melted cookie butter on the cookies for a picture-perfect look, then sprinkle with crushed Biscoff cookies and a little flaky sea salt – Yum!
Extra Crunchy Texture: Make each bite a bit crunchy to contrast the gooey centers by mixing Biscoff cookie crumbs into the cookie dough after adding the dry ingredients.
Light or Dark Brown Sugar: If you’d like, swap the light brown sugar with dark brown sugar for a richer molasses flavor and an overall sweeter cookie.
High Altitude Biscoff Stuffed Cookies Recipe
- Increase flour by 2 tablespoons
- Decrease brown sugar to ¾ cups and white sugar to ⅓ cup.
- Bake at 375° F (190° C) oven for 10-12 minutes (mine were perfect at 11 minutes)

One of the best Biscoff Cookie Recipes is created by the incredible gourmet cookie company Crumbl. If you want to adjust this recipe to resemble Crumbl’s Cookie Butter White Chip cookie, stir half a cup of white chocolate chips into the cookie dough. Easy!

Storage Tips
Store at Room Temperature – Store on the countertop in an airtight container or tightly sealed with plastic wrap for about 4 days.
Refrigerate – Store them in an airtight container for about 5-7 days for longer freshness. Then, serve chilled fresh from the fridge or set the cookies on the counter to come to room temperature.
To freeze cookie butter cookies, cool completely, then place in airtight baggie or container and freeze up to 3 months. These cookies are great to send in a college care package!
Rewarm Biscoff stuffed cookies by placing on a baking sheet in a 350° F (175° C) oven for 3 minutes, enjoy immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions

21-28oz of cookie butter, does it make a difference how much we use? Please let me know. Looks delicious by the way and I am excited to try it!
Hi J, you will love them! The amount varies based on how you scoop. You’ll freeze about 24 1 tablespoon dollops for the inside of the cookies. And it depends on how much you want to use in your cookie dough (I used ½ cup). Bottom line you’ll need two jars for this recipe.
Patty
