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.

Ingredients:
– 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
– 4-5 Biscoff cookies (for the top)
– Extra cookie butter (for the top)

How to Make Biscoff Brownies

Step 1: Prepare Your Pan

Press a large piece of parchment paper into a square metal 8×8 baking pan and crease the bottom edges so when you take it out you can see the outline of the size of the pan. Evenly spread the cookie butter inside the creased edges, then chill it in the freezer until firm. Check to ensure the layer is completely firm before starting the batter!

Step 2: Preheat Your Oven

Line the baking pan with parchment paper so it hangs off all four sides for easy removal. Preheat your oven to 350 F (180 C).

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

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. Whisk in the cocoa powder. Then mix this melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until just combined.

Step 5: Combine Dry Ingredients

Fold in flour, espresso powder, and salt until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep brownies fudgy.

Step 6: Layering The Batter

Pour half of the brownie batter into the pan and spread it evenly to fill. Place the frozen cookie butter square on top of this layer after peeling off its parchment paper. Pour the remaining batter on top and spread it evenly to cover.

Step 7: Add Toppings

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

Step 8: Bake The Brownies

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 attached. Let cool completely on a wire rack before removing from pan.

Step 9: Serve or Store

You can drizzle more cookie butter on top before cutting into squares. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2–3 days or freeze them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to one month.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Making Biscoff brownies can be a delightful experience, but there are some common mistakes that can hinder your success.

• Not measuring ingredients correctly: Accurate measurements ensure the perfect texture. Use a kitchen scale for dry ingredients and liquid measuring cups for wet ones.
• Skipping the chilling step: Chilling the cookie butter layer is crucial for a gooey center. Don’t rush this step; make sure it’s firm before adding the brownie batter.
• Overmixing the batter: Overmixing can lead to tough brownies. Mix just until combined to keep them fudgy and soft.
• Not using quality chocolate: The flavor of your brownies heavily relies on chocolate quality. Opt for high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips for the best taste.
