Ingredients
To make your Chewy One-Bowl Biscoff Blondies truly special, here’s what you’ll need:
22 Biscoff or Speculoos Cookies, divided: Make sure to use a quality brand—these give the blondies their signature flavor. I recommend the original Biscoff for aiming for that perfect spice balance.
½ cup unsalted butter, melted (1 stick or 113g): Use unsalted to keep the flavors balanced. Make sure it’s melted and cooled slightly before combining with the other ingredients.
½ cup Biscoff cookie butter spread (120g): This is the magic ingredient, adding creaminess and that delectably spiced cookie flavor throughout.
½ cup packed dark or light brown sugar (100g): Dark brown sugar is my go-to for depth of flavor, but feel free to use either.
⅓ cup granulated sugar (67g): This helps to give the blondies a slight sweetness with a hint of caramelization.
½ teaspoon kosher salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances all the flavors.
1 large egg + 1 large egg yolk: The extra yolk guarantees a chewier consistency—a little trick I’ve learned!
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract: Make sure it’s pure for the best flavor; the vanilla makes everything a bit more aromatic.
1 cup all-purpose flour (125g): This is the base of your blondies, giving them structure. For best results, scoop the flour directly from the container using a spoon, then level it off.
Prep Notes:
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy blending.
- Chop the Biscoff cookies into small pieces to achieve an even spread throughout the batter.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8 baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving a little overhang for easy removal later.
Chop 8 of the Biscoff cookies into small pieces, roughly the size of large blueberries. Set these aside—they’ll add delightful chunks to the blondies.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter (½ cup/113g) and Biscoff cookie butter (½ cup/120g) until smooth and well combined.
Add the brown sugar (½ cup/100g), granulated sugar (⅓ cup/67g), and kosher salt (½ teaspoon) to the mixture. Whisk until everything is nicely blended and glossy.
Now, add in the egg (1 large) and the egg yolk along with the vanilla extract (2 teaspoons). Whisk until thoroughly combined and the mixture looks silky.
Slowly add the flour (1 cup/125g) to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula until most of the flour is incorporated. Don’t overmix.
Gently fold in those chopped Biscoff cookies until evenly distributed.
Lay about 14 Biscoff cookies in an even layer on the bottom of your prepared pan. Spread the blondie batter evenly over the cookies, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Keep an eye on it; you want the perfect balance of chewy and soft!
Let the bars cool in the pan on a wire cooling rack for 1-2 hours. You can expedite this process by placing the pan in the refrigerator once it’s cool enough to handle. Chilling the bars also helps in cutting them into nice, clean slices.
If desired, gently melt 1-2 tablespoons of cookie butter and drizzle it over the cooled blondies for an extra touch of sweetness.
Cut into desired sizes and enjoy every last bite!
Chef’s Tip: To avoid a hard crust on the edges, be sure not to overbake. A few moist crumbs are your best friend!
Expert Tips & Tricks
Letting Butter Cool: If you melt the butter, let it cool slightly before mixing it with other ingredients to avoid cooking the eggs.
Baking Time: Ovens can vary in temperature. Start checking the blondies at the 20-minute mark to ensure you don’t overbake.
Storage: Store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you keep them in the fridge, they can last a bit longer—up to a week.
Make Ahead: The blondie batter can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for a day or two if tightly covered. Just remember to bring it back to room temperature before baking.
Troubleshooting: If your blondies come out too dry, it might be due to overbaking. Slightly underbake them for a gooey center.
Freezing Option: You can freeze them (cut or uncut) for up to 3 months. Just ensure they’re well-wrapped and that you let them thaw before enjoying.
Serving Suggestions
These Chewy One-Bowl Biscoff Blondies are delectable on their own, but why stop there? Pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful à la mode treat or enjoy them with a dollop of whipped cream. For an elegant touch, you can plate them with drizzles of caramel or chocolate sauce.
They’re perfect for any occasion—whether it’s a casual brunch with friends, an afternoon treat on a cozy couch, or a sweet ending to a festive dinner party.
Variations & Substitutions
Nutty Bliss: Add chopped walnuts or pecans for a satisfying crunch. Toasting them lightly will enhance their flavor even further!
Chocolate Lover: Mix in some chocolate chips or use dark chocolate chunks for an indulgent twist.
Caramel Sensation: Swirl in caramel sauce for added richness.
Dietary Adaptations: For gluten-free options, consider using a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
Seasonal Flavors: Feeling festive? Add a dash of pumpkin spice in the fall or a hint of peppermint extract during the winter holidays!

Can I use other cookie flavors?

How can I make these blondies denser?

Can I freeze the unbaked batter?

Can I make these vegan?
- You can substitute the egg with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water) and use vegan butter.
Why didn’t my blondies rise?

How do I reheat frozen blondies?
