How to Make The Best Biscoff Cupcakes with Cookie Butter

When did you try a Biscoff cookie for the first time? Almost 20 years ago, when I was flying across the country in oon a Delta flight I enjoyed my first ever Lotus Biscoff cookie bite. It was snappy and sweet, but yet not overly sweet. Ever since then, it has been my guilty pleasure, mostly enjoyed up in the skies. But now, I’m bringing this fan-favorite snack into our kitchens with these incredible Biscoff cupcakes!

P.S. I find our Biscoff cookies at Costco! The cost per package is such a deal!

Bischoff Cupcake Instructions

To Make the Cupcakes:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup cupcake tin with cupcake liners.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cake flour, Biscoff cookie crumbs, baking powder, cinnamon, and kosher salt.

Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or an electric mixer, cream the softened butter and Biscoff cookie butter until creamy and smooth. Add in the granulated sugar and brown sugar, mixing until combined. Then, add the eggs and vanilla extract, beating until fluffy.

Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients, alternating with the whole milk, mixing until just combined.

Divide the cupcake batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about halfway.

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

To Make the Cookie Butter Frosting:

Once the cupcakes have cooled for about an hour, it’s time to start the cookie butter frosting.

In a large mixing bowl, use a stand mixer or an electric mixer to cream the room-temperature butter and Biscoff cookie butter until smooth.

Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing on medium speed. Add heavy cream, one teaspoon at a time, until the frosting reaches the desired consistency. Beat on high speed for about 5 minutes until the frosting is fluffy.

Using a piping bag, frost the cooled cupcakes. Dust with Biscoff cookie crumbs and top each cupcake with a Biscoff cookie for garnish.

Bischoff Cupcake Pro Tips and FAQs

1. Can I use all-purpose flour instead of cake flour? Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour, but cake flour gives the cupcakes a lighter, fluffier texture.

2. What if I don’t have a stand mixer? A hand-held electric mixer works just as well for both the batter and the frosting.

3. How can I make the frosting stiffer? Add more powdered sugar gradually until the frosting reaches the desired stiffness.

4. Can I make these cupcakes ahead of time? Absolutely! You can bake the cupcakes a day in advance and frost them the next day for best results.

5. Can I use any other type of butter instead of Biscoff cookie butter? For the signature Biscoff flavor, it’s best to stick with Biscoff cookie butter. However, you can experiment with peanut butter or other cookie butters for a different taste.

6. How do I ensure my cupcakes are fluffy? Make sure your eggs and butter are at room temperature before mixing. This helps create a smoother batter and fluffier cupcakes.
