Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Biscoff spread
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Equipment Needed
- Mixing bowls
- Electric mixer
- Baking sheets
- Parchment paper
- Measuring cups and spoons
Instructions
Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line your baking sheets with parchment paper. This ensures your cookies won’t stick and makes cleanup a breeze.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This step is crucial for evenly distributing the leavening agents and salt throughout your dough.
Cream Butter and Sugars
Using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This incorporates air into the dough, making your cookies lighter.
Add Wet Ingredients
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined, then mix in the Biscoff spread. The Biscoff adds a unique flavor and helps create a chewy texture.
Combine and Bake
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Tips and Tricks
For the best results, make sure your butter is softened but not melted. This helps achieve the perfect cookie texture. If you love extra chocolate, consider adding more chocolate chips or even chunks. And for a fun twist, try swirling some extra Biscoff on top of the cookies before baking for a marbled effect.
Recipe Variations
- Add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the dough for a warm, spicy note.
- Swap out the chocolate chips for white chocolate or peanut butter chips for a different flavor profile.
- For a crunchier texture, add some chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
