Can I substitute Biscoff spread with other cookie butters?
If you don’t have Biscoff spread, you can substitute Nutella or peanut butter. Speculoos cookie butter is very similar too, so it’s a great substitute.
Tips for No Leftovers
- Start with room temperature butter for easier mixing.
- Trader Joe cookie butter is very similar to Biscoff and is a great substitute.
- Use a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer for easier prep.
- These cookies retain their shape so leave as is or flatter for a thinner cookie.
- Don’t over mix the dough. This can lead to dense cookies. Mix the batter until lightly combined.
