There are a few things in life that I’ve been late to the scene to.
- Grey’s Anatomy {I just started watching it a year and a half ago}
- Skinny Jeans
- Random songs from 2005 {“Is this a new song? I love it!”….negative}
…and most importantly….
- Cookie Butter.
I just discovered Biscoff cookie butter at World Market right before I left on my book tour. I ran into the store to grab a small wicker basket to proof my bread in and ended up with a cart-full of random “necessities” such as tea, a chalkboard coffee mug, happy hippo bars and Biscoff spread. I couldn’t WAIT to try it, especially from what everyone has told me, so right after I got in my car I unscrewed the red top and dug my finger right in. Don’t tell me you’ve never done that before! Anyway, it was absolutely delicious — kind of like cinnamon peanut butter — and I immediately knew what I wanted to do with it {besides eat it with my fingers in the parking lot} and that was make cookies!
If you’ve never tried this culinary delight before, you need to stop reading this post, grab your keys and high-tail it over to World Market or Cost Plus right this instant.
Biscoff spread tastes EXACTLY like the delicious cookies you get on Delta flights, making it perfect to dip apples in, stir into oatmeal or just eat with your fingers.
These cookies have the chewy texture of peanut butter cookies, but are full of this yummy Biscoff spread and dark chocolate chips. Judging from experience, I’ll just tell you up front that it’s practically impossible to only eat one.
I made these cookies to take to my book signing last month in Santa Rosa. It might have been one of the smartest decisions I’ve ever made in my life, other than to say yes to a first date with Adam.
These cookies keep well, so they are great to pack on road trips or dates. The dough has a little bit different texture than that of normal peanut butter or chocolate chip cookies, but don’t worry — they’ll turn out great!
Edit as of 9:30am: Unfortunately the owner of Big Hat Books in Indianapolis is in the hospital and unable to open the store tonight for my signing. I apologize about this greatly and am sure she could use your prayers right now!
Edit AGAIN: I will sign books tomorrow morning at PANERA BREAD in Indianapolis around 8:15-8:30am if you guys want to meet me there for some coffee — unfortunately that’s the only other time that works so I hope I will see y’all there!
The address to Panera is 5025 East 82nd Street, Indianapolis

I have made something similar and yes they are ah-maz-ing! Welcome to the Biscoff love.
From someone who lives overseas, THANK YOU for explaining what Biscoff is! I’ve seen it on all the food blogs but we don’t get it (in Northern Ireland) and nobody has ever given a decent description of what it’s like. Darn, now I know all about it I wish I could get some here!
Does Amazon ship internationally? They sell Biscoff spread…
Hi Nikki, I’ve been able to purchase it recently in one of the big B&M superstores (in Belfast), it’s sold under the brand name as ‘Lotus Spread’. The stuff is seriously amazing.
Biscoff is amazing! One of the greatest perks of living over here in belgium is ready access to speculoos cookies (the cookies that they make the spread with). If you can get your hands on some of the crunchy biscoff, you’re in for a real treat!
I ate my first jar of Biscoff in 3 days. It is no longer allowed in my house. I will have to go buy some to try this recipe!
I am SO making these cookies – thanks for the inspiration. I can’t wait to try these!
Jenna, your cookies always look amazing! I can’t wait to try these!
Ah I love your remarks about Adam
Jenna – what host and domain do you recommend for blogging?
I was late on the scene with cookie butter, too. Amazing!
As a kid I loved when the airlines gave biscoff cookies on their flights! I have yet to try the butter though! I’ve heard it’s amazing…so I’m scared to bring it into my house! Ha! But the cookies look divine, and I bet the biscoff butter adds a great flavor! I also think that trader joes sells a spin off of this…cookie butter?
I seriously think I’m one of the only people left who hasn’t tried cookie butter yet. I just can’t deal with another addiction right now!
I love cookie butter! Tastes just like the speculaas I devoured for sinterklaas in the Netherlands.. Even the smell makes me super nostalgic!
Yum! I love biscoff!
More about that first date, please.
These cookies sound so good!! I put cookie butter in my pumpkin oatmeal yesterday which practically made my day.
Also…dietitians in my office go nuts over this not top-of-the-line healthy spread. It’s just too good.
Don’t worry Jenna, you’ve still beat me to the cookie butter party!! As far as I know, Biscoff isn’t sold here in Canada but I fully intend to hunt down a jar next time I’m in the US!
Thank you for the recipe. I currently live in Belgium, where I first discovered speculoos (that’s what they call the spice mix) and they also sell speculoos spread (crunchy, with cookie pieces, and smooth – just like peanut butter).
I am in love with cookie butter, especially the Trader Joe’s kind! I have to limit myself to a spoonful (or 2!) a day or the entire jar would be gone in no time flat. Good thing there is a World Market near my office : )
I agree Abby! Trader Joe’s has a Specaloos Cookie Butter that tastes just like Biscoff! I used it to make Biscoff Oatmeal Cookies from twopeasandtheirpod (http://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/biscoff-oatmeal-cookies/)
I’ll definitely try this version though!
I have actually never had cookie butter. I’ve almost bought it from TJ’s, but I just know how dangerous it would be to be in my house.
I might have to pick some up and make these cookies, though. They look so delicious!
My BF and I are flying to Denver soon, and when I found out that he booked Frontier tickets instead of Delta I just lost it— what about the cookies?!
Trader Joe’s also makes an amazing version, it’s in the aisle with the peanut butter!
Ok….this sounds amazing. MUST TRY!
Any chance this delightful spread is sold in Canada, eh?
The Biscoff spread has become a PROBLEM in my household! We only discovered it about a month ago and can’t get enough of it. We put it on toast, use it as a dip with apples, and now, thanks to you, we will be making cookies
The cookies look wonderful! I love that they’re made with Biscoff and dark brown sugar exclusively and I bet the flavor is so bold and beautiful and that they’re chewy perfection. Hey better late than never to this party
Hi Jenna,
My prayers are with the owner of the bookstore!
Are you trying to arrange a different book signing in Indianapolis tonight? Or a reader dinner meet-up or something like that?
Unfortunately that was the only bit of free time tonight since I’m tied up with conference responsibilities. I’m super bummed! Maybe coffee tomorrow morning if it works with people’s schedules?
Just trying to find out for my sister—she lives an hour outside of Indy and was planning to come to the signing, but has to work in the morning so I know coffee wouldn’t work for her.
If anything changes you’ll tweet or post to the blog, right?
I will have to try the cookie butter… On second thought that might be a bad thing if I like it!
I finished your book last week and loved it. You deserve all great things that come your way.
These look so yummy! I’m not a huge Delta fan, but def like their cookies.
I’m really sorry to hear about the owner of Big Hat. The store has been a fixture in Broad Ripple for many, many years. I’m not sure where you are staying while you are here, but you should check out Recess (located in Broad Ripple) or Mama Carrolla’s for dinner. GREAT food and atmosphere
Safe Travels!

Sorry to hear about the owner of the bookstore – praying for her now. Biscoff is so amazing, I think it never fails to put a smile! Love this recipe.
So obsessed with Biscoff spread. I prefer the crunchy kind though. Wonder how that would work in this recipe. Definitely going on my “to make” list! Thanks
Oh man – Cookie Butter looks like dangerous stuff. Sort of like keeping the rainbow chip frosting in the fridge. If I go buy it, I’ll probably wake up tomorrow and feel slightly guilty for the empty container in the trash.
Perhaps I should walk on the wild side….
But, this recipe looks like a great way to use up some of that ooey gooey yumminess in a way I can share. Good call on that one. Half a container is completely acceptable, right?
p.s. I still haven’t joined the skinny jean craze. You’re not THAT behind.
Seriouslyyyy, I don’t know why I read your blog every day!!!!! I can’t eat sugar really or most things that you make and they always sound so good and tempting. It’s like I’m torturing myself?? Anyway…. these are one of those things that I really want to make right now and will regret it but mmmmm…
OH MY GOODNESS, Biscoff will be the death of me. When there’s a jar of it in the house, there is no way I can be stopped. Put it in a chocolate chip cookie and I am done for. Love it!
I guess I’m late to the party too – I’ve never heard of this! You’ve convinced me though… I’ll be heading to World Market this weekend and picking up some of this goodness!
Seriously?! These looks awesome. And I have a whole jar of Trader Joe’s Cookie Butter at home. I may have to give it a shot with TJ’s instead of Biscoff.
You’re just trying the cookie butter?! Welcome to the club!
Those cookies are amazing! Once, on a flight out to Alaska for a looong back packing trip, the airline gifted us a huge package of those cookies. We saved half for our return. I will always have a special place in my heart for Biscoff cookies. So cheers to you for making a chocolate chip blessed version!
Sorry about the book signing rescheduling, and I hope the bookstore owner is ok! Still think you should come to Chicago!
These sound great! I’ve heard of cookie butter on other blogs before, but I’ve never actually tried it. I think the reason being that I’m afraid I’ll like it too much and I know it’s probably not the most figure-friendly food out there. Kind of like nutella
How do I not know about this?!?! You are a messenger of light and goodness
Walgreens has started carrying this recently and there are coupons floating around somewhere on the internet.
I really hope to come to Panera in the morning but have to drop a little guy off and can’t get there till 9:15 ish….think you will still be there? Also can I confirm the address of Panera…I can’t get River Crossing Parkway to show up in mapquest. Do you know the crossroads? Thanks!!
Yes, I will still be there! Most likely eating a big ol’ bagel
And DUH, I had the address wrong – I just updated on Facebook but it’s 5025 East 82nd Street 
Great! Glad we got the locale cleared up! Wait for me cause I have a few treats for ya:)
You are so sweet….my mind has been so frazzled all day with traveling (hence why I got the address wrong). I will absolutely wait for you!
I love Biscoff spread, too! I once ate half a jar with a spoon and gave my self a stomach ache. Thank you for the recipe!
I do have a jar of cookie butter sitting in my cupboard right now…it might be better for me to make these cookies than eat it by the spoonful straight out of the jar!
I bought apples yesterday, thinking I would eat them plain. NOW I will eat them with Biscoff – thanks – no boring snacks for me this week!
I seriously love everything about these.
That tends to happen to me a lot at World Market….3 bags later….I have a wicker basket AND lots of fun new foods and housewares!
I love the idea of using the cookie butter to make more cookies. These look wonderful!
I also very recently discovered Biscoff spread and did exactly the same thing. YUM.
Looks absolutely amazing! Another great recipe.
Biscoff. My nightly snack w/ a glass of wine. MMMM…
My sad Biscoff virgin friend recently asked me what I put the biscoff on and I simply replied.. “A spoon”
Would also like to chime in and say that the TJ Cookie Butter, while good, is no match for the Biscoff. It’s like butter vs. country crock.
I’ve never tried Biscoff butter or cookies! Eek, guess I should get on that
Trader Joe’s has cookie butter too!
These look AMAZING and I’m madly in love with Biscoff spread. I’ll have to make these ASAP!
I’ve just purchased my first jar of Biscoff spread. So far the only thing I’ve done with it is eat it with a spoon. Yum! I love that you made cookies with a spread that is made of cookies!
These sound perfect for my son’s Bake Sale this weekend. I do not have corn syrup though. Could I omit or is there anything else you would recommend to use in its place?
Hi Jenna,
I have been following your blog for a while now and have tried several of your delicious recipes. This recipe is something I want to recreate for my vegan sister. Is it possible to make it vegan? I am not a baker at all. Thank you!
These look awesome, Jenna!
Trader Joe’s Speculoos Cookie Butter is basically the same thing. At least where I am it’s a lot cheaper as well! Now that you’ve made me think of cookie butter with cookies, I’m picturing a Cookie Butter Cookie Sandwich! Oh dear.
I like to fly Delta solely for the Biscoff cookies…my husband thinks I’m ridiculous. I’ll be stopping at World Market on my way home from work tomorrow. Thanks!
These were so good! I love cookie butter and this was the first time I used it in a cookie! I made them vegan (in case any other readers want to know) by subbing 1 T flaxseed meal + 3 Tbsp water per egg, vegan semisweet choc chips and subbed agave for the corn syrup because that’s all I had. They were thicker and didn’t flatten out as much as yours but still awesome! thanks
