Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Biscoff cookie butter (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup + 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch cocoa powder
- 2/3 cup + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 4–5 Biscoff cookies, broken into pieces (for topping)
Instructions
- Press a large piece of parchment into an 8×8 metal pan, creasing the edges to mark the bottom. Spread the Biscoff cookie butter evenly inside the marked square and freeze until firm. This becomes your gooey center!
- Once frozen solid, remove the cookie butter layer and set aside. Re-line the same pan with parchment, letting it hang over the sides for easy lifting.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and 2/3 cup chocolate chips in 30-second bursts until smooth. Stir in cocoa powder.
- Whisk the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in the flour, espresso powder, and salt until you no longer see streaks of flour.
- Pour half of the batter into your lined pan and spread it to the edges.
- Lay the frozen cookie butter square over the batter and peel off the top parchment.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter over the top, smoothing it out evenly.
- Break Biscoff cookies into chunks and press them into the batter. Microwave 2 tablespoons of cookie butter until runny, then drizzle it over the top.
- Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool completely in the pan before lifting out.
- Optional: drizzle more melted cookie butter on top before slicing. Enjoy!
Notes
Quick tip — make sure to measure your flour the right way! This is my #1 baking secret. Never scoop your measuring cup straight into the flour bag — it packs too much flour and can mess up your recipe. Instead, give the flour a little fluff, then gently spoon it into your measuring cup and level it off. Want even better results? A kitchen scale is your best friend!
How to Cut Brownies:
Patience is key here — let your brownies cool completely, which might take a couple of hours. Once they’re cool, grab a sharp knife, run it under hot water, and wipe it clean between each cut. That way, you’ll get those perfect, neat little brownie squares every time!
