Why Make Small-Batch Lotus Biscoff Cookies?

Letโs Get Baking: Chunky Lotus Biscoff Cookie Recipe
This easy, kid-friendly recipe uses brown sugar to create soft, chewy cookies with a rich flavor. The Lotus Biscoff cookies add a delightful crunch and that signature caramelized sweetness, while an optional drizzle of Biscoff spread takes them to the next level.
Ingredients:
- 25g all-purpose flour
- 30g brown sugar (you can use 100% brown sugar, or swap half for white sugar if you have it)
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of baking soda
- Half a pinch of baking powder
- 10ml beaten egg
- 8ml melted butter
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 Lotus Biscoff Cookies (two for mixing into the dough, two for topping)
- Optional: Lotus Biscoff spread (at room temperature) for drizzling on top
This recipe makes 2 chunky cookies, perfect for a quick baking session or a mid-day snack!
Instructions:
- Mix the dry ingredients. In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Brown sugar is the star hereโit not only sweetens the cookies but also gives them a chewy texture and rich flavor. If you only have brown sugar on hand, feel free to use it 100% for this recipe.
- Add the wet ingredients. Stir in the beaten egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the dough starts to come together.
- Crush the Lotus Biscoff cookies. Take two of the Lotus Biscoff cookies, crush them into small chunks, and fold them into the wet ingredients. This adds a satisfying crunch and that classic Biscoff flavor!
- Form the dough. Divide the dough into two equal-sized dough balls, each forming one chunky cookie.
- Bake. Preheat your oven to 180ยฐC (350ยฐF). Place the dough balls on a lined baking tray and bake for 8 minutes.
- Top with Biscoff cookies. After 8 minutes, break the remaining two Biscoff cookies in half and gently press each half into the top of the partially-baked cookies. Return to the oven and bake for another 2 minutes until the cookies are golden and the Biscoff cookie pieces are slightly crisp.
- Cool and (optional) drizzle. Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack. For an extra indulgent treat, drizzle some room-temperature Lotus Biscoff Cookie Butter over the top of each cookie before serving. Enjoy!
Healthier Substitutes and Tips for a Lighter Cookie
While these cookies are undeniably delicious, there are a few easy ways to make them a little healthier if you prefer:
- Reduce the sugar: If youโre watching your sugar intake, you can reduce the sugar from 30g to 20g (or even less, depending on your preference). The cookies will still taste great, and the Lotus Biscoff cookies add plenty of sweetness on their own.
- Use coconut sugar: Swap out the brown sugar for coconut sugar. It has a lower glycemic index and a more complex flavor that complements the caramel notes of the Biscoff cookies.
- Try almond flour: For a gluten-free option, use almond flour in place of all-purpose flour. It will give the cookies a slightly nuttier flavor and a chewier texture.
Make a Big Batch for Later!
