Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground clove
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Dough: Cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract followed by the ground spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove—and mix until well incorporated to infuse the dough with the signature Biscoff flavor.
  2. Combining Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until a consistent dough forms, ensuring not to overmix.
  3. Shaping the Cookies: Roll the dough into small balls, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten each ball slightly and space them evenly to allow for proper spreading during baking.
  4. Baking: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but slightly soft for that perfect crunch.
  5. Cooling and Storing: Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. This cooling step is crucial for achieving the ideal crispy texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for smoother creaminess when mixing with sugar.
  • Do not overbake; remove cookies just before they appear fully done to maintain the crunchy-yet-tender texture.
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helps control spreading and enhances flavor.
  • Use fresh ground spices for a more intense and vibrant flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them crispy and fresh for up to one week.
