Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt to evenly distribute the spices and leavening agent.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with both brown and granulated sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy. This process aerates the dough ensuring a tender, crispy texture with rich caramel notes.
  3. Add the Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract thoroughly, beating until smooth to bind the dough and enhance the aromatic complexity of the cookies.
  4. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour-spice mixture to the butter-sugar mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the dough light and prevent tough cookies.
  5. Shape the Cookies: Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Flatten each cookie ball gently with the bottom of a glass or your palm for an authentic Biscoff shape and even baking.
  6. Bake and Cool: Bake for 10-12 minutes until cookie edges are crisp and the centers appear set. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, letting them firm up for the signature snap.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for better creaming and lighter dough.
  • Measure flour by spooning and leveling to prevent dense cookies.
  • Avoid overbaking, cookies will crisp more as they cool.
  • Chill the dough if time allows to improve flavor melding and reduce cookie spread.
  • Adjust cinnamon and ginger to taste for personalized spice levels.
  • For a vegan version, replace butter with coconut oil or vegan margarine and use a flax egg.
  • Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • Freeze dough balls or baked cookies; bake dough from frozen adding extra baking time.
  • Reheat cookies in a low oven (300°F) for 3-5 minutes to restore crispness; avoid microwaving.
