Tell me about this recipe!
- These easy Biscoff blondies are made with brown butter, which balances out the sweetness of the cookie butter. Brown butter gives a delicious nutty and toasted taste.
- The batter is swirled with melted cookie butter (or biscoff spread) just before baking.
- This all comes together in 1 large bowl, so you won't have a bunch of dirty dishes when you're done baking!
- I folded in chocolate chips but you could also use white chocolate chips or white chocolate chunks if you prefer.
- I add an extra egg yolk to make give these blondies a fudgy texture.
Ingredients Needed
- Flour: I'm using all purpose flour here, also known as plain flour in the UK. I have not tested this recipe with gluten free flour.
- Lotus Biscoff Spread: you can find Cookie Butter at Trader Joes or you can use Biscoff spread! I make sure to melt it in the microwave for a few seconds to make it easier to swirl through the batter
- Baking Powder: I use a little bit of baking powder to help these bars rise just a bit, giving you the perfect texture between fudgy and cakey!
- Unsalted Butter: I always use European style butter in my baking. European style butter has a higher butterfat content, giving you a richer and creamier taste.
- Chocolate Chips: I used dark chocolate chips but it is also delicious with white chocolate chips!
- Lotus Biscoff Biscuits: To get that extra cookie butter taste, top the blondies with Biscoff cookies just before baking.
- Vanilla Extract: Try to use good quality vanilla extract.
How to make this recipe
Step One: In a small saucepan, melt the butter on medium-low heat. Once melted, increase the heat to medium until it begins to brown. The milk solids at the bottom of the pan will start to turn a light brown and the foaming should stop. You'll also have a nutty and toasted smell. Take off the heat and pour the melted butter into a large bowl. Let it cool.
Step Two: Once your butter has cooled, whisk in your granulated sugar, light brown sugar, vanilla extract and salt.
Three
Step Three: Add your egg and egg yolk and whisk until smooth.
Step Four: Fold in your flour and baking powder into your wet ingredients. Fold until there are no more streaks of flour.
Five
Step Five: Fold in your chocolate chips.
Step Six: Grease and line an 8x8 baking pan. Pour the blondie batter into the pan and use your rubber spatula to evenly press the batter down. In a microwave, warm up your Biscoff cookie spread in short blasts. You want it to be liquid enough that you can easily swirl it through the batter. Drop 5-6 large dollops on to the dough and use a butter knife to swirl it through. Place your Biscoff cookies on top and bake at 350 degrees for 21-23 minutes.
Recipes Tips & Tricks
- I highly recommend using a weighing scale and measuring out your ingredients the metric way. It makes a huge difference to your baking and is the most accurate way to bake!
- Don't overmix your dough! The more you mix it, the drier it will be.
- I make sure that all of my ingredients are at room temperature before I start the recipe, so pull out all of the ingredients about 2 hours before you start baking.
- If you want gooey blondies, don't overbake them!
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting into them.

I made these for my family and we all LOVED them! The cookie butter really stood out (which is usually hard to do in recipes like this IMO) and it paired perfectly with the brown butter! Plus, they’re super easy to make. Definitely recommend!!

I baked these last week and they went down a storm! Barely lasted 15 mins after baking because they are so more-ish. I’ve only recently started making blondies and love them, but adding the cookie butter.... I mean wow, game changer.

I wanted something quick and easy to bake and then I came across these blondies and they were the perfect solution! I had just enough cookie butter left in my cupboard to make them so I whipped them up quick and they were so delicious! I will definitely be making these again 😋
