HOW TO MAKE Biscoff Molten Cookie Cups
Crafting these delightful Biscoff Molten Cookie Cups is easier than you might think. The process involves mixing a few staple ingredients and layering them with that beloved Biscoff spread. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s ahead: we’ll combine the butter and sugars, fold in the dry ingredients, scoop everything into a muffin tin, and bake them until just golden.
INGREDIENTS
Gather these items for your Biscoff Molten Cookie Cups:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Biscoff spread
Short notes:
- Brown Sugar: Adds depth to the flavor.
- Granulated Sugar: Helps to achieve that lovely exterior.
- Biscoff Spread: The star ingredient; its caramelized flavor steals the show.
Substitution ideas:
- If you prefer a gluten-free option, you can use a gluten-free flour blend.
- For dairy-free versions, substitute the butter with a dairy-free alternative.
Quality tips:
- Use fresh Biscoff spread for the best flavor.
- Room temperature butter incorporates better, creating that perfect texture.
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Crack in the egg and add the vanilla extract, beating until they’re well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
- Divide the cookie dough evenly among the cups in the muffin tin, filling each one halfway.
- Place a generous teaspoon of Biscoff spread in the center of each cup, then top with more cookie dough to cover the spread completely.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Look for golden edges while keeping the centers soft.
- Let the cups cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tin. The buttery goodness should be molten and gooey in the center when broken apart.
