Super thick and chunky Biscoff Cookies made from scratch. These BIG New York-style cookies are filled with Biscoff cookie spread, Biscoff cookies, milk chocolate and white chocolate. They’re ready to eat in under an hour.
I almost called these Ugly Biscoff Cookies 💙
But while these cookies won’t win any prizes in the looks department, they taste unbelievably good. They’re super thick and chunky and filled to the brim with chocolate, Lotus Biscoff cookies and Biscoff cookie butter.
The best part? There’s no need to chill the dough, so they’re ready to eat in under an hour!

Recipe testing
Just like my popular Levain Bakery Cookies and my Gingerbread NYC Cookies I knew I wanted these cookies to be big and bold. I also knew I wanted them to taste oh-so-biscoffy (is that a word?).
And I achieved just that by adding Lotus Biscoff cookies in the cookie dough, and swirling through Biscoff cookie butter.
But I couldn’t stop there. I also added LOADS of milk chocolate and white chocolate pieces. While you could use chocolate chips, I prefer to add BIG chunks of chocolate so there’s gooey chocolate in every bite.
While I’ll always love thin and crispy cookies, like my Snickers Cookies, these big, bold cookies are my new fave. And if you love these, try my Caramel Coconut Cookies next!
How to make thick cookies
Just like my Levain Bakery Chocolate Chip Cookies, these cookies are super thick. We’ve chatted before about how to make thick cookies but let’s recap.
- Use cold butter. Butter warms and melts in the oven causing cookies to spread. So what do we do if we don’t want our cookies to spread too much? We use cold butter.
- Brown sugar. White sugar or caster sugar can also cause cookies to spread. So we use brown sugar in this recipe. It also adds a beautiful, caramel-like flavour.
- Extra flour. We add a little extra flour to make sure these cookies are extra thick. I highly recommend using a baking scale to measure the exact amount of flour for the recipe. Over measuring could result in dry cookies.
- A little cornflour. Cornflour or corn starch helps to make cookies thick and soft. If you don’t have any, just add an extra tablespoon of flour.
- A lot of fix ins. It’s important to use loads of fix ins to help stop your cookie dough from spreading too much. I’ve used roughly chopped Biscoff cookies and handcut chunks of chocolate in this recipe.
- Tall balls of cookie dough. When you roll the balls of cookie dough, make sure your balls are nice and tall – that way they have further to spread.

Frequently asked questions
Cold butter will help you create thick cookies. If you don’t want to use cold butter, you can use room temperature butter but you will need to chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes.
Check out this post for the most common reasons why cookies spread too much in the oven. Make sure you follow all the tips above to ensure your cookies are lovely and thick.
I prefer to use blocks of chocolate that I chop by hand. But you can use chocolate chips if you prefer. I’ve used both milk and white chocolate in this recipe, but you can use dark chocolate, peanut butter chips or Caramilk – chocolate in most forms will be delicious here!

Biscoff Cookies
Thick and chunky Biscoff Cookies ready to eat in under an hour.
Ingredients
- 115 grams (1/2 cup or 1 stick) unsalted butter, COLD (straight from the fridge), roughly chopped
- 190 grams (1 cup) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, cold
- 245 grams (1 and 3/4 cup) plain flour or all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornflour or corn starch*
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams (2/3 cup) milk chocolate, roughly chopped
- 100 grams (2/3 cup) white chocolate, roughly chopped
- 70 grams (1/2 cup) Lotus Biscoff cookies, roughly chopped
- 80 grams (1/3 cup) Biscoff cookie butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Line two baking trays with baking or parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, add cold butter and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Add vanilla and egg. Beat again until combined – but try not to over mix.
- Add flour, cornflour, baking soda and salt, and beat on a low speed until soft cookie dough forms. Add chopped chocolate and cookies and beat briefly. Finally, add Biscoff cookie butter and mix very briefly.
- Scoop out cookie dough, roughly 2 tablespoons per cookie, and place on prepared oven trays, leaving room for the cookie to spread slightly.
- Bake cookies for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Leave cookies to cool completely.
Notes
Plain flour: I highly recommend using a baking scale to measure your flour. It’s very easy to overmeasure flour when using cups – and too much flour could result in a dry cookie.
Cornflour: If you don’t have any cornflour or corn starch, use an extra tablespoon of flour.
Chocolate: I prefer to use blocks of chocolate that I’ve cut up by hand, but you can use chocolate chips if you prefer. Peanut butter chips or Caramilk also works nicely in this recipe.
Cookies spreading: If you always have trouble with cookies spreading too much in the oven, bake one tester cookie. If it’s not as thick as you would like, chill the dough for 30 minutes and then try again.

How long do these cookies stay fresh for? How should I store them? Great recipe but please add this info! ❤️
Jessica Holmes says
Hi J, so glad you love this! They keep fresh for days! Or you can freeze the cookie dough to make them in advance.
Sarah de Waal says
Good morning,
Thank you for the amazing recipes.
I would like to bake the cookies. However in South Africa I can’t find Biscoff cookie butter, we only have Biscoff spread. Can I use the spread? It has the same consistency of peanut butter.
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Sarah, yes I think that’s the same thing! It’ll be perfect for these cookies.
Faye says
Hi Jessica. With the butter and egg both being cold, how long should it take to incorporate these ingredients? Cold butter and egg takes a long time to mix in so the concern is over mixing the dough otherwise it looks curdled. Some guidance here would be appreciated. Thanks!
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Faye, it shouldn’t take long, maybe 30 seconds? Do you have a stand mixer?
Pip says
I made these for a work day to celebrate ‘National Biscuit Day’ and OMG they went down a bomb!!! Let my husband taste test one of them the evening before and he is a fusspot! His seal of approval was ‘OH these are VERY good!’. Thank you for sharing the recipe – I will be making them again 🙂
Jessica Holmes says
How good is that Pip! So pleased everyone loved them!
Shannan says
Thank you for this great recipe! About how many ounces of dough do you think your cookies are before baking? I am terrible at judging by tablespoons!!
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Shannan, at a guess I would say around 3 ounces per cookie dough ball.
Joanna says
LOVED by all biscoff fans (and even the ones that aren’t!) They really were so simple to make and super quick! Used double white chocolate rather than white and milk. So please such a great result with so little effort! Thank you!
Jessica Holmes says
That’s awesome to hear Joanna! Glad you loved them as much as I do!
Mervine Jasmine says
I would like if your recipes had videos on how to make the cookies. It would be so simple to cook it .
Thanks
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Mervine, thank you for the suggestion! I’m trying to add more videos to my recipes. You can also find some of my latest recipes on Instagram and YouTube!
