What You’ll Need For Biscoff Easy Brownies
- all-purpose flour– All-purpose flour is a key ingredient in baking, find it in the baking section of your grocery store.
- unsweetened cocoa powder- Hershey’s Special Dark preferred- When looking for unsweetened cocoa powder, if they have Hershey’s Dark, that is what I use for my chocolate recipes. It’s wonderful, but the regular cocoa powder works just fine as well.
- kosher salt– Kosher salt is a coarse salt used in cooking and baking.
- salted butter– In general I typically use salted butter for all of my cooking and baking. Unsalted is fine too.
- granulated sugar– Granulated sugar is a key ingredient when making homemade brownies. Find it in the baking section of your grocery store.
- light or dark brown sugar– brown sugar is available in light or dark. Either works for this recipe.
- large eggs– I use large eggs in all of my baking to keep consistent.
- pure vanilla extract– Always use pure vanilla extract for your baking for best taste.
- canola oil– Canola oil or vegetable oil work just fine in this brownie recipe. Both found in the baking section of your grocery store.
- Biscoff Cookie Butter– Not all grocery stores sell Biscoff spread. I find best luck at Target and Walmart or ordering on Amazon.
How To Make Easy Homemade Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- Place flour, cocoa powder and salt in a large mixing bowl, stir to combine. Place hot melted butter, oil, and sugars into a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined, a good minute. Stir in eggs and vanilla, whisking another 2 minutes. Slowly stir wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl, gently stirring just until batter forms.
- Transfer half of the batter to baking dish. Spread evenly and top with cookie scoop fulls of cookie butter evenly over top. Take an offset spatula and spread evenly. Top with remaining brownie batter, spreading evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until baked through. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 1 hour before cutting into squares. Serve room temperature or warmed with a scoop of ice cream.
Combine your dry ingredients then work on the wet ingredients. Slowly add wet ingredients to dry ingredients until brownie batter is combined. Brownie batter will be thick and shiny.
Transfer half of brownie batter into the 8 x 8 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper. Top with scoops of Biscoff Cookie Butter then carefully spread cookie butter evenly over brownie batter.
Pour remaining brownie batter over top of cookie butter layer. Spread evenly over top. Bake brownies for 35-40 minutes, until baked through. Remove and let cool for an hour before cutting into squares.
How To Serve Cookie Butter Brownies
Serve brownies room temperature in squares or warmed in microwave topped with vanilla ice cream.
How To Store Leftover Brownies
Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container room temperature or refrigerated for up to 5 days.

Everyone went crazy for these! I might add a bit less cookie butter next time but they were seriously the best brownies I’ve ever had.
I can’t get the Hershey Special Dark where I live. We have a choice of natural or Dutch process. What do you recommend? Thank you, Jenny!
Yes, if you have the regular unsweetened cocoa powder that is just fine, doesn’t have to be the dark.
