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.

Jia says
Amazing! One question though, is it suitable to store the batter in the fridge?
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Jia, absolutely! You can store it in the fridge if you want to make it ahead of time for a day or two. Otherwise, it’s best to freeze it!
officialweetbix says
These were so good! I put a bit of spread in the middle of each cookie rather than mixing it in. These were exactly what I was looking for, so nice and thick and not dry or cakey at all
Jessica Holmes says
Yay! That makes me so happy!
Jess says
I love them every time i make them
Jessica Holmes says
Me too Jess, me too!
Kat says
Can I use wholemeal flour?
Jessica Holmes says
I haven’t tried Kat! No doubt you can but you might want to add a fraction less as wholemeal flour could prevent the cookies from spreading at all. I’d maybe try half half!
Bianca says
Best cookies ever!! Thank you so much for the recipe.
Jessica Holmes says
Yes! So glad you love them as much as I do Bianca.
Jill says
What makes a tall fluffy cookie? Is it cake flour?
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Jill, depends on the cookie recipe but baking powder can help create a more cake-like cookie (I assume that’s what you mean by fluffy?). Cake flour can help create a softer cookie.
CC says
OMG so good!!!! Can I do that also not NY style but normal cookies, using for example this recipe? https://www.sweetestmenu.com/white-chocolate-macadamia-cookies/
In this case how much mix-ins (bisocoff etc) do you suggest?
Thank you
Jessica Holmes says
For sure! I think you could keep the mix-in’s roughly the same!
Liz says
I made these and shared it with my co workers. They loved them! Said it was the bestest cookie. One said “you can sell these” 🤣 I tried to make them like the real NY cookies so I weigh them out and make 7-8 large cookies. They were a tad sweet for me but no one else said that…
Jessica Holmes says
I love hearing that Liz! So glad they were a hit!
Gina says
Made these for my partner for Father’s Day and he declared them the best cookies he’s ever had!
Your great tips ensured the cookies did not spread and they were definitely NY-style.
Thank you!
Jessica Holmes says
That’s wonderful to hear Gina! So glad your dad loved them!
Danielle says
I don’t have an electric mixer (novice baker…) – is it possible to use an electric whisk? Or by hand? Or no I need to get an electric mixer?? Thank you!
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Danielle, you might find it a bit tricky to mix by hand because the recipe calls for cold butter. If you don’t have a mixer, I recommend using softened butter and following the recipe as is. Then just chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes to 1 hour before baking. Hope you enjoy them!
TMC says
I made these Biscoff cookies today. They are amazing!! I honestly haven’t made a cookie recipe of yours yet that wasn’t amazing but I think these are one of my favorites! I will make again, and again…
Jessica Holmes says
Yes! This makes me so happy to hear!
Mitchell says
These were soo good that I had to tell the family the first batch didn’t work so the wife and I could eat them all whilst making the second batch.
Jessica Holmes says
Hahaha you gotta do what you gotta do! 😜 So glad you enjoyed them!
Amina says
How many grams per 1 cookie?
Jessica Holmes says
I haven’t weighed the cookies I’m sorry!
Sherene says
Another winning cookie! I’d never had biscoff until I made these after drooling over them on Instagram. New fav!
Jessica Holmes says
Yes! Love that!
Angela Robles says
These Cookies are Amazing. I’m making it for the second time because they were all gone in one Day. Love them.
Jessica Holmes says
Love hearing that Angela! So glad you enjoyed them!
