BISCOFF COOKIES

Pretty sure we can say 99.9% of the population is in love with biscoff right? or even better, biscoff spread!?!

Speaking on behalf of myself, I am definitely a biscoff freak.

While having my daily crave of the stuff, I found this AMAZING recipe for chewy cookies and decided to fill them with it.

Heaven in your mouth, thats all I'm saying.

This isn't a want, its a need, TRUST ME.

The cookie recipe is exactly like the cookies you buy from Tescos bakery and come on, thats every bakers aim eh? crispy on the outside and soft in the middle.

Top tip: Warm them up in the microwave for 15 seconds before eating, you won't regret it.

Biscoff cookies:

Ingredients:

-150g butter, room temperature (do not use marg otherwise will just be crispy& oily)

-80g caster sugar 

-120g light brown sugar

-2 egg yolks

-225g plain flour

-1/2 tsp baking powder

-10 tsp biscoff spread

-50g white chocolate (to decorate)

-Biscoff biscuits (to decorate)

Method:

- Firstly preheat your oven to 180' and line your trays with greaseproof paper.

-Take a plate covered with greaseproof and scoop 10 teaspoons of biscoff spread on the greaseproof individually. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes to set. (set them while you make the cookie dough)

-Place your butter, caster sugar, light brown sugar into a mixing bowl and beat until butter is light and all the sugar is incorporated together.

-Add your 2 egg yolks to your butter and sugar mix and mix again.

-Slowly add in the 225g plain flour and 1/2 tsp baking powder, you will find it will start coming together into a dough.

-Take out the dough and start rolling the dough into 10 balls (around the size of a walnut shell) flatten out the dough balls in your hand ready for the biscoff spread.

-Grab the biscoff spread from the freezer, at this point they should be frozen which makes it easier to cover with the cookie dough. Place in the middle of the flattened cookie and roll up into a ball again. Place on your lined baking tray with plenty of space between them. (I put 6 on one tray) No need to flatten them out once on the tray, they will do that while baking.

- Place in the oven for 13 minutes, you will need to take them out once the edges of the cookies begin to start turning golden in colour.

-Once baked, take out of the oven and drop the tray onto the side of the counter, this helps the cookies stay soft in the middle but crispy on the outside also gives the cookie a cracked effect ontop.

-Once cooled, melt white chocolate and drizzle over the top, I also added some biscoff cookies for decoration. (who's going to moan about eating an extra cookie hey?!)

These cookies will last for 3 days once baked however they don't even last an hour in my kitchen with everyones hands in the cookie jar looool.

Enjoy baking!
