Biscoff Chocolate Chunk Cookies- rich soft caramel flavoured cookies with gooey pockets of chocolate. The Biscoff spread elevates these cookies by giving them lots and lots of flavour. These cookies are soft, chewy and absolutely delicious to eat.Â
A couple of years ago, a colleague introduced me to Biscoff biscuits. The deep caramel flavour of the biscuits had me hooked. Then I started seeing the biscoff spread at my local poundshop. The sweet creamy spread actually made with Biscoff biscuits. According to the lotusbiscoff site, in Belgium they put the biscuit on their bread and some crumbled it and others dunked it in their drinks first. Then a Belgian mum created a creamy spread and entered it into a TV show, The Inventors. It was there, the deliciousness which is the Biscoff spread was born. The spread contains more than 50% caramelised biscuits and is nut free.
Making a dessert or something with biscoff has been on my mind for a while. So I thought why not bake some cookies. Â
Biscoff has a distinct flavour of caramel which the compliments chocolate and mixed into the cookie base it is perfection.
Let's make these delicious Biscoff Chocolate Chunk Cookies
For the cookies, you will need:Â
Unsalted Butter
Brown & Granulated & sugar
Eggs
Vanilla Extract
Biscoff Spread
Plain or all purpose flour
Bicarbonate or baking soda
Salt
Chocolate chunks or chips
Â
To make these, I adapted my favourite cookie recipe. I reduced the amount of sugar, added in an extra egg yolk and then biscoff spread.
I left cookie batter to chill in the fridge for two days. You don’t have to wait 2 days to bake these, but here’s the thing leaving your cookie dough to chill enhances the taste and gives the flour time to hydrate. And that’s what we want, FLAVOUR!!
Then bake and enjoy the deliciousness that is this cookie.Â
Be prepared to have your kitchen smelling amazing.Â
Here’s what I love about these cookies, it has chewy edges , deep caramel flavour and melted puddles of chocolate. This cookie does not skimp in flavour. These cookies are soft, with every bite you are met with sweetness which isn’t overpowering, a bit of chocolate and that delicious Biscoff flavour
