The image shows a stack of soft, golden-brown cookies with a slightly cracked texture on top, each embedded with bright red and green candy pieces. The cookies are resting on a white marbled surface, with additional red and green candy pieces scattered around them, adding a festive look. The cookies have a slightly uneven round shape with a chewy appearance, and the colors of the candies contrast sharply against the warm-toned cookie base. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup Biscoff Spread
1 1/2 cups M&M’s (reserve some for the tops)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Step 2: Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
Step 3: Using a mixer, add the butter and both sugars. Mix on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until fully combined and creamy.
Step 4: Add the egg and vanilla, beating until combined. Then mix in the Biscoff cookie butter for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until smooth.

Step 5: Add the flour mixture and beat just until combined. Stir in the M&M’s, saving some to press on top of each cookie later.
Step 6: Scoop large rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared sheet pan, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently press down the cookie balls slightly, keeping them thick.
Step 7: Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are golden and set. The centers may look a bit gooey, which is perfect to keep them soft inside.

Step 8: Transfer cookies to a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra chewiness, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
Swap M&M’s for chocolate chips or chopped nuts for a different texture.

Press extra Biscoff spread on top before baking for an intense flavor boost.

Storage

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To refresh, warm them slightly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to bring back that soft texture. You can also freeze baked cookies for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature before enjoying.

How to Serve

A stack of four soft, golden-brown cookies filled with red and green candy pieces is placed on a white marbled surface. Each cookie shows a slightly cracked, chewy texture with the colorful candies embedded throughout, adding spots of bright red and green. Some individual candy pieces are scattered around the stack and a fifth cookie lays flat in the foreground, showing more of the candy details on its textured surface.

FAQs

Can I use natural or crunchy Biscoff spread instead of the smooth version?

Yes, both natural and crunchy Biscoff spread will work well. Crunchy spread adds a bit of texture, while smooth will give a creamier consistency to the dough.

What if I don’t have M&M’s on hand?

You can easily substitute M&M’s with chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even dried fruit such as cranberries or raisins. They will give different flavors and textures but remain delicious.
