With chunks of crunchy Biscoff cookies on top, and dollops of the delicious caramelised spread throughout, these ultra moist Biscoff blondies will quickly become a firm favourite!
Ready in just 30 minutes, but here's a warning, they may be devoured in about the same time!
When I first tasted Biscoff spread I wondered how I had ever lived without it! This lightly spiced spread, also referred to as cookie butter in the US, is a combination of all my very favourite flavours!
The smooth and scrumptious flavour is described as caramelised, spicy, malty, and similar to the flavour of gingerbread. Mmm....so you can understand why I love to include it in my baking!
Biscoff cookies seem to vanish not long after coming out of the oven, and my Biscoff muffins are on high rotation for lunchboxes and after school snacks too.
For dessert, I've made everything from a luscious Biscoff cheesecake, to elegant little bite-sized Biscoff truffles - even a Biscoff ice-cream for a late night indulgence!

What You Need
Other than the Biscoff spread and cookies, the other ingredients are all standard baking items that you probably already have on hand.
Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method.
- Butter - either salted or unsalted, but if salted is used, then just omit the pinch of salt.
- Brown sugar - lightly packed.
- Caster sugar - also referred to as superfine sugar, it dissolves much easier than regular granulated sugar when mixed with other ingredients.
- Eggs, plus one extra egg yolk - use large eggs (approx. 60g), and have these at room temperature.
- Vanilla extract - or vanilla bean paste. Use a good quality pure vanilla extract or paste, rather than an imitation vanilla essence, the difference in taste is noticeable.
- Plain flour - sifted, also called all purpose flour.
- Cornflour - this very fine flour is used to enhance the texture and flavour in baking.
- Baking powder - used as a raising agent in baking. It's important to check the expiry on your baking powder and make sure that it is in-date for the best results.
- Pinch of salt - omit if using salted butter.
- White chocolate chips - a good quality chocolate chip does make a difference, I like to use Cadbury or Nestle white chocolate chips.
- Biscoff spread - also referred to as cookie butter, Biscoff spread is generally available in all major supermarkets.
- Biscoff cookies - roughly chopped.
Equipment Required
Don't you just love a one bowl recipe? No beaters required, just melt, mix and bake!
- Microwave or stovetop - to melt the butter.
- Large bowl and whisk.
- 20cm square baking tin - lined with baking paper.

Step By Step Instructions
It's the crunchy chunks of cookies over the top, and the bursts of Biscoff spread throughout that make these blondies such a luscious treat!
Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method.
Step 1 - Prep And Melt
Preheat your oven to 170 degrees celsius (fan-forced). Line a 20cm square tin with baking paper with the paper overhanging the sides. Set aside.
Using a large microwave safe bowl, melt the butter for 2-3 minutes in 30 second bursts (50% power).
Add the brown sugar and caster sugar to the melted butter and stir to combine.
Step 2 - Add The Eggs And Vanilla
Once the mixture has cooled slightly, add the eggs (including the extra egg yolk) and the vanilla extract. Whisk until combined.
Step 3 - Add The Flours
Add the sifted plain flour, cornflour, baking powder and salt into the bowl. Gently fold the dry ingredients through.
Step 4 - Add The White Chocolate
Stir the white chocolate chips through the mixture.
Then gently pour the blondie batter into the prepared baking tin.
Step 5 - Add The Biscoff Spread And Cookies
Place small spoonfuls of Biscoff spread over the top of the blondie batter.
Place chunks of broken Biscoff cookies over the top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.
TIP: If you notice the blondie is over-browning on top, simply place a sheet of foil loosely over and continue baking.
Leave in the tin to cool completely before removing and cutting.
Expert Tips
Here's a few tips to make your Biscoff blondies the very best!
- Don't overcook the Biscoff blondies - blondies should be moist, whereas baking for too long will dry them out.
- For fudgy/moist Biscoff blondies - cook for 20-25 minutes and test with a toothpick which should come out with moist (but not wet) crumbs on it. The blondies will continue to cook as they cool.
- For an extra indulgent treat - serve Biscoff blondies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert!
- Storage - store Biscoff blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freezing - freeze in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw, leave the slices in a container in the fridge overnight, or sit them at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
FAQs
Biscoff spread is basically crushed Speculoos (spiced Belgium biscuits) made into a paste with a similar consistency to smooth peanut butter or Nutella.
In the US it is often referred to as cookie butter.
The delicious flavour is described as caramelised, spicy, malty, and similar to the flavour of gingerbread.
In Australia, the names cornstarch and cornflour are often used interchangeably, whereas in the US they are different products.
In the US, for example, cornflour is a finely ground cornmeal, and cornstarch is what we, in Australia, call cornflour. Therefore, if you're in the US, you'll need to use cornstarch for this recipe.
