Directions and Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk them together until they form a smooth, shiny mixture.
- Crack in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the fragrant vanilla extract that will enhance the flavor of your brownies.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture until just combined—be careful not to overmix to keep your brownies delightfully fudgy!
- Gently fold in the creamy Biscoff spread and the chopped Biscoff cookies until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the decadent brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to spread it out evenly.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it—this ensures that your brownies will be perfectly gooey.
- Once they’re done, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, drizzle some extra Biscoff spread on top for that irresistible finishing touch before cutting into squares.
Notes or Tips
For an extra indulgent treat, you could top your brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. If you want some added crunch, try sprinkling even more chopped Biscoff cookies on top before the brownies cool. Don’t forget to store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature; they’ll stay delicious for up to 4 days—if they last that long!
Cooking Techniques
When baking brownies, it’s crucial to not overmix your batter, as this can lead to a cakey texture instead of the desired fudginess. Folding your dry ingredients gently into your wet ingredients will help maintain that rich consistency. Always keep an eye on baking time, as ovens can vary; pull them out once a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs for that perfect brownie experience.
FAQ
Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted? Yes, but if you do, consider reducing the added salt in the recipe to balance the flavors.
What can I substitute for Biscoff spread? If you can’t find Biscoff spread, speculoos cookies or any cookie butter should work well, although the flavor profile may slightly differ.
Can I freeze these brownies? Absolutely! Cut the brownies into squares and wrap them tightly before freezing. They can be stored for up to 3 months.
