A Cookie with a Passport
Biscoff cookies hail from Belgium, where bakers perfected spiced speculoos in the 1930s. Airlines later served them as in-flight treats, spreading their fame worldwide. *Did you know Biscoff means “biscuit + coffee” in Dutch?* This recipe blends that rich history with American cookie love. Next time you bake, think of the journey in every bite.

How to Make Biscoff Cookie Delight Crunch Bliss
Step 1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Soft butter mixes best with sugars. Beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until fluffy. Step 2 Add egg, yolk, and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Stir just until no dry spots remain. Step 3 Scoop dough into 2-inch balls. Flatten slightly with your palm. Chill 10 minutes for thicker cookies. (Hard-learned tip: Cold dough spreads less!) Step 4 Bake 10–12 minutes until edges turn gold. Cool on sheets 5 minutes. Transfer to racks to cool fully. Frosting time! Step 5 Beat butter until fluffy. Add Biscoff spread, then powdered sugar and salt. Thin with cream until spreadable. Smear on cookies, top with crumbs.

Storage & Make-Ahead Tips
These cookies stay fresh in a sealed container for 3 days. For longer storage, freeze unfrosted cookies up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before frosting. *Fun fact*: Chilling the dough balls prevents overspreading. Why this matters? Proper storage keeps them soft and chewy. Batch-cook note: Double the dough, bake half now, freeze half for later. Ever tried freezing frosted cookies? Share your tricks below!
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Cookies too flat? Chill dough longer or add 1-2 Tbsp extra flour. Frosting too thick? Add cream slowly until smooth. Cookies too dry? Bake 1-2 minutes less next time. Why this matters? Small tweaks make big differences. My neighbor once overbaked hers—still tasty with extra frosting! What’s your biggest cookie fail? Spill the crumbs!

Q: How far ahead can I prep dough? A: Up to 24 hours in the fridge. Bake when ready.
Q: What’s a good Biscoff swap? A: Use peanut butter or Nutella for a twist.
Q: Can I halve the recipe? A: Yes! Use 1 egg (no yolk) and halve all else.
