There’s something magical about holiday cookie baking — the warm spice, the cozy kitchen, the familiar aroma of something sweet in the oven… and forgetting to pick up groceries. Blossom cookies have always been a seasonal favorite, and this year we wanted a version that felt extra festive. Something soft, chewy, spiced, and nostalgic… but with a twist. That twist may have been that we didn’t have peanut butter.

Enter: Biscoff Cookie Butter Blossoms.

Jump to Recipe

These cookies take everything people love about classic peanut butter blossoms — the sugar-rolled edges, the soft centers, the signature chocolate kiss on top — and bring in the cozy cinnamon-brown sugar flavor of Biscoff cookie butter. The result? A holiday cookie that will definitely be a part of your cookie exchanges this year!

The kitchen smells like brown butter and spice as they bake, and that alone is worth turning on the oven.

IS THIS RECIPE BUDGET-FRIENDLY?

Very much so. This is one of the most affordable holiday cookies you can make:

• Uses 1 egg
• Uses pantry staples you already own
• Biscoff cookie butter is cheaper than nut butters in many areas
• Makes 22–24 cookies
• No mix-ins, no expensive add-ons

The ingredients feel indulgent, but the final cost stays low — exactly what we love during a season when baking can add up quickly.

• 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter — browned
• 1 cup (215g) brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/4 cups (175g) all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS

1. Brown the Butter

In a small saucepan, heat butter over medium heat until bubbly, foamy, and golden with a nutty aroma (about 5–7 minutes).
Chill for 10–20 minutes so it’s not piping hot.

2. Cream Butter + Sugar

Beat browned butter and brown sugar together until smooth.
Mix in vanilla and Biscoff cookie butter.

3. Add Egg + Dry Ingredients

Mix in egg.
Add baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Stir in the flour until the dough comes together.
Chill 20 minutes.

4. Shape + Add Kisses

Roll dough into 1-inch balls.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Gently press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each.

5. Bake

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes or until lightly golden.
Cool completely so the chocolate sets.

FAQ — BISCUFF COOKIE BUTTER BLOSSOMS

Do these spread more than classic blossoms?

Yes — cookie butter is softer than peanut butter. Chilling the dough helps control spreading.

Can I roll the dough in sugar?

Absolutely. Regular sugar or coarse sparkling sugar both work beautifully.

What can I use instead of Hershey’s Kisses?

Try:

• Rolos
• Dark chocolate squares
• Lindt truffles
• Mini peanut butter cups

Can I prep the dough ahead?

Yes — the dough chills up to 48 hours.

How do I store these cookies?

Room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Can I freeze them?

Yes. Either freeze the baked cookies (2 months) or freeze pre-rolled dough balls without the chocolate (3 months).

Can I skip browning the butter?

You can, but the flavor won’t be quite as deep or toasty.

HOW TO STORE & MEAL PREP

• Room temp: 5 days
• Freezer (baked): 2 months
• Freezer (raw dough): 3 months

If baking from frozen dough, add the Hershey’s Kiss after baking.
