FAQ

Can I use generic cookie butter instead of Biscoff?

Yes! Any speculoos-style cookie butter works, including Trader Joe’s.

Why brown the butter?

It creates deeper, nutty, caramel like flavors that elevate the entire cookie.

Do I have to chill the dough?

Yes. This prevents spreading and improves flavor and texture.

Why is my dough greasy?

Likely the brown butter did not cool enough before baking.

Can I skip the filling?

You can, but the gooey center is what makes these stand out.

Notes: 

*How to Brown Butter (The Right Way)
  1. Place the butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Let it melt completely, then continue cooking. It will foam, then quiet.
  3. Swirl the pan occasionally. Watch for golden bits forming on the bottom.
  4. When it smells nutty and looks amber, remove from heat.
  5. Immediately stir in the 1/4 cup of Biscoff spread and milk powder if using. .

You want golden, not burnt. Think toasted hazelnut, not coffee ash.

**How to Measure Flour (Correctly)

Measuring flour properly makes a big difference in how your cookies turn out. For best results, use a kitchen scale and measure in grams. This ensures consistency and prevents adding too much flour, which can make cookies dry or dense.

If you don’t have a scale:

  • Do not scoop flour directly with the measuring cup.
  • Use a spoon to gently fill the measuring cup.
  • Level it off with the back of a knife.
  • Do not pack the flour down.

Too much flour is one of the most common reasons cookies don’t spread properly and your cookies can become dry and cakey.

Storage:

  • Keep room temp 3–4 days in an airtight container
  • Place in the fridge for up to 1 week
  • Freeze dough up to 2 months
  • Reheat 10–15 seconds for gooey centers
