• No chill time. Lots of cookie recipes require you to chill the batter before baking. These cookies can be baked right away, cutting down the prep time needed!

Ingredient Notes

• flour - All purpose flour is almost always a safe choice in baking and is the best flour to use when making Biscoff butter cookies. If desired, you can substitute Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Flour but note that the cookies will still contain wheat in the Biscoff cookie spread.
• vegan butter - Any vegan butter will work here, but vegan butter that comes in a block is best. My favorite to use is Miyoko's Creamery. Make sure to warm your butter to room temperature before starting the recipe or your cookie dough will be hard to cream together.
• biscoff spread - Adding biscoff cookie butter spread to your cookies gives them that delicious Biscoff flavor while keeping the cookies soft and smooth. The Lotus Biscoff website even confirms that Biscoff is vegan friendly, non-GMO, contains no preservatives, and no artificial colors. You can also use trader joe's cookie butter spread.
• oat milk - I like to use oat milk in most of my vegan baking, but you can use any plant-based milk you have on hand. Just make sure to use an unsweetened milk or your cookies may be overly sweetened.
• sugar - This recipe uses both cane sugar and brown sugar. To ensure your cookies are vegan, make sure to use organic sugar. Conventional sugars can be bleached with non-vegetarian ingredients.

Step by Step Instructions

1. Prepare flax egg - Whisk together 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and set aside for 10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes gelatinous. Once it has sat, it should become a texture similar to an egg white.
2. Cream the butter and sugar - In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar and cane sugar together using an electric mixer. Once creamed together, the mixture should be light, fluffy, and can be slightly gritty. If preferred, you can also do this in a stand mixer with the whisk or paddle attachment.
3. Add in the wet ingredients - Add in the flax egg, vanilla extract, biscoff spread, and oat milk and mix again until combined.
4. Add in the dry ingredients - Slowly add in the flour, baking soda then mix again until a dough forms. The dough should be soft and not stick to your hands.
5. Form Biscoff butter cookie dough balls - Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop or spoon, scoop 1 tablespoon of the dough onto the baking sheets. Because these cookies spread, you will need to leave about 4 inches between each cookie and use multiple cookie sheets.
6. Bake - Bake the biscoff butter cookies in batches on the top rack of the oven for 13-15 minutes. After baking, the cookies will still appear soft, but will continue to cook once removed from the oven.
7. Enjoy! Allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes, then enjoy while still warm and gooey.

FAQs

Expert Tips

• Plan to take your vegan butter out an hour before baking. The butter needs to come to room temperature before starting so make sure to plan ahead.
• Don't over mix the cookie dough. Creaming the butter and sugar for too long can cause too much air to be whipped into the cookie batter and can cause your cookies to have difficulty holding their shape.
