Ingredients
Cookie butter meets blondies in these soft and chewy Biscoff Blondies, sprinkled with white chocolate throughout. They are sweet, spiced, and indulgent.
For the Base
- ¾ cup (1½ sticks or 170g) unsalted butter
- ½ cup (140g cookie) butter spread (I used Biscoff brand)
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
- 1¼ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Add-ins
- ⅔ cup (130g) white chocolate chips
- 6-8 Biscoff cookies
- 2 Tablespoons (35g) cookie butter spread
How to Make Biscoff Blondies
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease your 9” x 9” square pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper to create a sling that overhangs on all four sides.
Step 2: Prepare the Batter
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat and allow it to cool slightly. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, cookie butter spread, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until everything is well combined.
Step 3: Mix in Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs and vanilla extract into the mixing bowl. Stir together for about 30 seconds until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Incorporate Dry Ingredients
Add in the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix gently with a spatula until only a few streaks of flour remain visible. Carefully fold in the white chocolate chips.
Step 5: Bake the Blondies
Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Spread evenly using an offset spatula. Top with broken pieces of Biscoff cookies. Bake in your preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the center is just set and edges are golden brown; insert a toothpick to check—moist crumbs should cling but not wet batter.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan. Melt the remaining cookie butter spread in a microwave-safe bowl and drizzle it over the top of cooled blondies. Cut into 16 equal squares, serve them up, and enjoy this delightful treat!

How to Perfect Biscoff Blondies
Achieving the perfect Biscoff Blondies requires attention to detail and some helpful tips. Follow these suggestions to make your blondies irresistible!
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensuring your eggs and butter are at room temperature helps create a smoother batter.
- Don’t Overmix: Mix just until combined to maintain the chewy texture that makes blondies so appealing.
- Check for Doneness: A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter; this ensures they stay soft and chewy.
- Cool Completely Before Cutting: Allowing the blondies to cool fully will help them set properly and cut into clean squares.
Best Side Dishes for Biscoff Blondies
Pairing side dishes with your Biscoff Blondies can elevate your dessert experience. Here are some delicious options to consider:
- Chilled Milk: A classic choice, cold milk complements the sweet flavors of your blondies wonderfully.

- Yogurt Parfait: Layer yogurt with granola and fruit for a light side that pairs well with sweet desserts.
- Chocolate-Covered Pretzels: The salty crunch of pretzels dipped in chocolate enhances the flavor profile of Biscoff Blondies.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
When making Biscoff Blondies, avoiding common mistakes ensures a perfect texture and flavor. Here are some pitfalls to watch out for:
- Skipping the cooling step: Allow the melted butter to cool slightly before mixing. If you don’t, it may cook the eggs prematurely.
- Overmixing the batter: Stir just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense blondies rather than the desired soft texture.
- Not measuring flour properly: Use a kitchen scale for accuracy or scoop and level your flour. Too much flour can make the blondies dry.
- Baking too long: Keep an eye on them in the oven. The center should be just set, so remove them as soon as they look golden at the edges.
- Using cold eggs: Always use room temperature eggs for better mixing and texture. Cold eggs can cause the batter to seize up.
