Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed Biscoff cookies – about 20 cookies (155g)
  • 1/4 cup salted butter, melted and cooled (56g)

Brownie Batter

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature (112g)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar (100g)
  • 1/2 cup salted butter, melted and cooled (113g)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste (8g)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (65g)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened baking cocoa (33g)
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder (about 1g)

Topping

  • 1/3 cup smooth Biscoff spread (80g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Set the pan aside for later use.
  2. Make the Crust: Combine the crushed Biscoff cookies with 1/4 cup melted butter. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan using the back of a large spoon to create a solid crust layer.
  3. Mix Eggs and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs with the granulated sugar and brown sugar on high speed using a hand or stand mixer for about 1 minute. The mixture should lighten in color and become creamy.
  4. Add Butter and Vanilla: Add the 1/2 cup melted and cooled butter along with 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the egg and sugar mixture. Mix on medium speed until thoroughly combined.
  5. Sift Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and baking powder into the wet ingredients to ensure there are no lumps and to evenly distribute the leavening agent.
  6. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the brownies tender.
  7. Assemble Brownies: Pour the prepared brownie batter evenly over the pressed Biscoff cookie crust in the baking pan. Smooth the top gently to create an even layer.
  8. Add Biscoff Swirl: Warm the 1/3 cup of Biscoff spread in the microwave for about 5-10 seconds until soft enough to spoon. Drop spoonfuls of the spread over the brownie batter and use a butter knife to swirl it into a pretty marbled pattern.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. The ideal baking time is about 23 minutes but varies depending on your oven.
  10. Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares and serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature eggs to help the mixture incorporate smoothly.
  • The Biscoff spread swirl adds a beautiful decorative touch and extra burst of flavor; warming it slightly ensures it spreads easily.
  • Be careful not to overbake to maintain a fudgy brownie texture.
  • You can substitute salted butter with unsalted butter plus a pinch of salt if preferred.
  • To crush Biscoff cookies evenly, place them in a sealed plastic bag and use a rolling pin or food processor.
  • Storage: Keep brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
