Chocolate Mixture
- 250 g (8.8 oz / 1 ½ cups) baking chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 115 g (1 stick) unsalted butter
Wet Ingredients
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 200 g (1 cup) granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 90 g (¾ cup) all-purpose or cake flour
- 30 g (¼ cup) unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed preferred)
- ½ tsp salt
Biscoff Additions
- 10 crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies (plus 4 extra for topping)
- 12 tsp Biscoff cookie butter spread
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the brownies after baking.
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and baking chocolate together over a double boiler or heat in short bursts in the microwave. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Whisk Eggs, Sugar, and Vanilla: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract for about 2 minutes until the mixture becomes pale and slightly foamy, adding air and lightness.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture and stir gently until smooth and well combined, ensuring an even batter.
- Fold in Dry Ingredients: Using a spatula, carefully fold in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Be gentle to avoid overmixing, which could make the brownies tough.
- Add Crushed Biscoff Cookies: Mix in the 10 crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies just until evenly distributed through the batter.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top. Dollop the Biscoff cookie butter spread evenly over the surface, then swirl it lightly using a knife. Sprinkle the remaining 4 crushed cookies on top for added crunch.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Bake until the top is set but the center still yields moist crumbs when tested with a toothpick.
- Cool and Refrigerate: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Then refrigerate for 1 hour to set completely before slicing.
- Serve: Cut the chilled brownies into 16 squares and serve. Enjoy the fudgy texture paired with the unique Biscoff flavor!
Notes
- Ensure eggs are at room temperature to create a smoother batter and better rise.
- Use Dutch-processed cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor and darker color.
- Do not overmix the batter once dry ingredients are added to maintain a fudgy texture.
- Refrigerating the brownies before slicing helps them hold their shape better when cut.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
