Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 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 (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)

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.
