Ingredients

• 1 cup Biscoff cookie butter (provides a rich, caramel-like flavor)
• 1 cup light or dark brown sugar (adds moisture and sweetness)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (balances flavors)
• 2 large eggs (helps bind the ingredients)
• 1 large egg yolk (adds richness)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (enhances flavor)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (ensure it’s at room temperature)
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (provides melty pockets of chocolate)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch cocoa powder (for deep chocolate flavor)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (forms the structure)
• 1 teaspoon espresso powder (intensifies chocolate flavor)
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt (balances sweetness)
• 4 Biscoff cookies (crushed for topping)
• 2 tablespoons extra cookie butter (drizzled on top)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Press a large piece of parchment paper into an 8×8 inch baking pan. Spread cookie butter along the inside edges and freeze until firm.
2. Step 2: Line the baking pan with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
3. Step 3: In a bowl, whisk together brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Step 4: Melt the butter and chocolate chips over low heat until smooth. Whisk in the cocoa powder, then mix this into the egg mixture.
5. Step 5: Gently fold in the flour, espresso powder, and sea salt until just combined.
6. Step 6: Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Place the frozen cookie butter square on top, then cover with the remaining batter.
7. Step 7: Sprinkle the crushed Biscoff cookies over the top and drizzle the microwaved cookie butter evenly over the batter.
8. Step 8: Bake for 30-40 minutes, checking with a toothpick until a few moist crumbs remain.
9. Step 9: Let cool completely on a wire rack before cutting and serving.

Tips & Variations

• For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder instead of Dutch process.
• Try adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
• Use crunchy Biscoff spread for topping if you prefer texture contrast.
• If you don’t have espresso powder, substitute with a teaspoon of instant coffee for similar depth.
• To make smaller portions, bake in mini muffin tins with adjusted baking time around 15-20 minutes.

Storage

Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat briefly in the microwave to soften before serving if desired.

FAQs

Can I use regular peanut butter instead of Biscoff cookie butter?

While peanut butter will add a rich taste, it will change the distinctive caramel and spice notes Biscoff provides. If swapping, consider adding some cinnamon and brown sugar to mimic the flavor.

How do I know when the brownies are done baking?

Insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies; it should come out with only a few moist crumbs attached but not wet batter. This ensures fudgy brownies with a fully cooked center.

• 1 cup light or dark brown sugar (Adds moisture and sweetness)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (Balances flavors)
• 2 large eggs (Helps bind the ingredients)

• 1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch cocoa powder (For deep chocolate flavor)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (Forms the structure)
• 1 teaspoon espresso powder (Intensifies chocolate flavor)
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt (Balances sweetness)

Toppings

• 4 Biscoff cookies (Crushed for topping)
• 2 tablespoons extra cookie butter (Drizzled on top)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan: Press a large piece of parchment paper into an 8×8 inch baking pan. Spread cookie butter inside the edges of the parchment paper and chill the pan in the freezer until the cookie butter is firm and set.
2. Preheat Oven and Line Pan: Line the baking pan with parchment paper if not already done and preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to get it ready for baking.
3. Mix Sugars and Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and slightly fluffy, providing a good base for the batter.
4. Melt Butter and Chocolate: Gently melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together over low heat until smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat and whisk in the Dutch cocoa powder.
5. Combine Mixtures: Stir the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whisked egg and sugar mixture, blending them into a cohesive batter.
6. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour, espresso powder, and fine sea salt just until combined to ensure the batter remains fudgy and not overmixed.
7. Layer the Batter and Cookie Butter: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Place the chilled, firm cookie butter square on top of this layer, then pour the remaining batter evenly over the cookie butter layer.
8. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the crushed Biscoff cookies evenly over the top of the batter. Warm the extra cookie butter slightly in the microwave until drizzly, then drizzle it over the crushed cookies for added texture and flavor.
9. Bake: Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
10. Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut into squares and enjoy the rich, indulgent flavors.

Notes

• Chilling the cookie butter in the pan helps create a distinct layer inside the brownies.
• Use parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies from the pan.
• Do not overbake to keep the brownies fudgy and moist.
• Adjust baking time slightly if using a glass baking pan as it can affect heat distribution.
• Espresso powder enhances the chocolate flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
• Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
