What Are Biscoff Lotus Cookies?

In case you haven't tried these Biscoff cookies before, I wanted to go a bit more into what they are. Basically, they are the original caramelized biscuits that are crunchy and pairs perfectly with tea, coffee, and/or milk. They are made using Belgian brown sugar which gives them that "caramel-like" taste and includes a mix of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and cloves.

How to Make Bakery-Style Biscoff Cookie Butter Cookies

These Biscoff cookies take just about 25 minutes (in total) to whip up. I've already been through the learning curve for you, so fear not! You’ll need a few important ingredients to achieve the thick, chewy texture perfectly, with NO CHILL time required, then bake them to perfection!

The ingredients

Before we dive into these Bakery-Style Biscoff Cookie Butter Cookiesrecipe, let me share the list of ingredients you'll need to achieve the thick, chewy texture perfectly:

• Biscoff cookies.These cookies add such a nice crunch and bite in these cookies. Definitely a touch of brown sugar flavor that marries together well. For a GF option, Speculoos or Spekulatius biscuits (a German cookie that's similar) are great.
• Biscoff Cookie Butter.The best highlight in these cookies for bold flavor.
• Unsalted butter.Always ensure that your butter is at room temperature, so your cookies stay nice and firm after baking. For an extra hint of flavor, you can also use salted butter.
• Brown sugar.Choose organic sugar to ensure it’s healthier.
• Cane sugar. I like to use organic cane sugar as well. Using this hand in hand with brown sugar allows the cookies to have a nice color, spread nicely, while keeping firm as well.
• Vanilla.To balance the rich caramel flavor.
• Egg. This is the binder for your cookies.
• Flour. I use Bob's Red Mill or King Arthur Flour all-purpose (organic). For GF, just substitute with GF all-purpose flour or 1-to-1 GF Baking flour.
• Baking soda + baking powder.To help your cookies rise in the oven.
• Cornstarch. The secret ingredient to the most incredible cookies! Contributes to the chewiness factor and it helps to give them their soft centers, prevents them from spreading, and makes them a bit thick.

The Secret + Tips to Chewy + Crisp Cookies

Short answer:The banging process.

The trick about everything is in the banging. During the baking process, you have to bang the baking sheet with your cookies a few times before they are fully baked. Therefore, the “crinkling” comes as a result of the center of the cookies falling inward, pushing the rest of it outward. I know, it sounds pretty crazy, but it’s so cool!

Combining this “crinkling” process with the flavor combo of cookie butter and Biscoff cookies is like "Heaven on Earth" with each bite.

What is the Banging Process?

The trick with how beautiful these bakery-style cookies look is in the banging. While this process is optional (and you prefer chunky, dome-like cookies), I definitely like doing it a bit to flatten them and have them spread out a bit more.

WHO CREATED THIS BANGING METHOD, EXACTLY?

I originally saw the “crinkled” cookie recipe about 2-3 years ago in the New York Times, which was originally by Sarah Keiffer, a baker and blogger ofThe Vanilla Bean Blog.

Why You'll LOVE These Biscoff Cookies

• MAKE AHEAD- You can prep the cookie dough or bake the cookies in advance and even freeze the dough for quick Boscoff cookies in a pinch.
• FESTIVE & FUN-I love getting my family involved in decorating these cookies with pieces of Biscoff cookeis, plus the kids LOVE it and it gets everyone in the mood for childhood nostalgia.
• TASTE-Sweet, caramel, rich, and warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, + ginger from the Biscoff cookies and cookie butter------YUM.
• EASE-This cookie recipe is foolproof, and gets you ready for the Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winters seasons without any hassle!

What Flavor Are Biscoff Lotus Cookies?

Basically,Biscoff cookies give you more of a caramel flavor, which is a great addition to this recipe.

How to Best Soften Biscoff Cookie Butter?

For this cookie recipe, it's always best to soften your Biscoff cookie butter (if it's hardened) to ensure that it's smooth enough to be beaten with the other ingredients, although not softening it doesn't make this recipe any less good. Haha. To best soften or melt the cookie butter, spoon the needed amount in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on low for 20-30 seconds until you're able to pour or drizzle it in.

NOTE: You'll want to make the softened cookie butter cool enough before adding it in with the remaining ingredients.

To Chill Or Not To Chill Cookie Dough?

OK, so I know this Biscoff cookie recipe doesn't call for chilling... But if you have extra time when it comes to making the best cookies,chilling your dough or not chilling it makes a difference in the results of the actual cookieonce it's baked! Here are the benefits -

BETTER TEXTURE

• The #1 reason why you should chill your dough is to prevent your cookies from spreading too much---which results in a thinner, more crispy cookie. If you want a chewy on the outside soft on the inside cookie then chilling is key!

MORE FLAVOR

• Chilled cookie dough creates more flavor (and a more beautiful color) based on it becoming more hydrated----- This happens from the dry ingredients gaining moisture from the wet ingredients.

So, if you're thinking of chilling your dough, you cando so in as little as 30 minutesandas much as 2 hours(the best results).

Tips for Making the Best Bakery-Style Cookies

Baking the best biscoff cookies as I stated before is kind of like a science, however, I've gathered a few tips that have helped me to master them over the years:

TIP 1: SOFTEN YOUR BUTTER.

This is a must! In the past, I never understood how important this step was, but I've now realized that it is. I like to let my butter sit out for at least 1-2 hours so that it's the softest it can get without melting. If you forget to leave your butter out, I sometimes add hot water to a glass, pour it out, and then add the butter to that heated glass for a few minutes and it works!

TIP 2: CREAM THE BUTTER.

Yet another step that I often overlooked, however, creaming your butter with a mixer until pale and fluffy, helps to make the most softest cookies ever!

TIP 3: ALWAYS, ALWAYS USE PARCHMENT PAPER!

I can't stress this enough. Lining your baking sheet with parchment makes things seamless and prevents your cookies from browning too quickly and sticking to the pan.

TIP 4: ADD IN THE FLOUR IN BATCHES.

We might think that dumping in all the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients at once might seem right, but it's not the best thing to do. I definitely recommend adding in the flour/dry ingredients in increments, mixing as you add to create a nicely combined batter without having to over-mix.

TIP 5: FOLD IN ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS.

Never use a mixer when adding in the additional ingredients like the chopped Biscoff cookies, chopped chocolate, chocolate chips, etc. For one----you risk breaking the ingredients up into small pieces while mixing and two----again, you end up making the chocolate melt (if using in a cookie) or get a little moist, which affects the batter. Simply fold in any added ingredients by hand a few times and you're done!
