Ingredients
Method
- Beat the 1 cup (225g) softened butter, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup (110g) brown sugar together on medium speed for 3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
- Add the 2 eggs one at a time, then mix in the 1 tsp vanilla extract and 3/4 cup (210g) Biscoff spread on medium speed for 60 seconds until smooth and glossy.
- Whisk the 2 1/2 cups (315g) flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp cinnamon together in a separate bowl, then fold into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Scoop the dough into 12 balls using a 1/4 cup measure, flatten each to 3/4 inch thick, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 11 to 13 minutes until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underdone. Cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
- Beat the 1/2 cup (115g) softened butter for 2 minutes, then add the 1 cup (130g) sifted powdered sugar, 1/2 cup (140g) Biscoff spread, 2 tbsp heavy cream, and a pinch of salt. Beat for 2 to 3 minutes until fluffy and glossy.
- Swirl the frosting onto each cooled cookie with a spoon or small offset spatula, then press a piece of Biscoff cookie into the center of each one.
Notes
These cookies taste even better the next day once the frosting has set and the flavors have had time to settle, so don't be afraid to make them the evening before you need them. The dough is on the stickier side, which is normal; resist the urge to add more flour. If your frosting firms up too much before you finish, a quick 10-second microwave blast will loosen it right up.
