What is a Blondie?

A blondie is a dessert bar similar in texture and appearance to a brownie, sharing similar ingredients, including butter, sugar, oil, eggs, and flour, but lacking cocoa or chocolate as its primary flavor. Instead, blondies have a rich, buttery, and vanilla-infused taste, elevated by the slightly caramelized brown sugar flavor. Blondies are characterized by their golden or "blonde" color, which is how they got their name.

Blondies are a delightful dessert option for those who prefer a sweet, buttery, and less chocolate-heavy treat than brownies. They can also include various add-ins such as chocolate chips, nuts, butterscotch chips, or, as in the case of these Biscoff cookie bars, Biscoff Cookies.

Biscoff Cookie Butter Blondies

Picture this: a golden, buttery square that melts in your mouth, infused with deep, caramelly undertones of dark brown sugar and delightful hints of vanilla. What's even better is the enchanting bond they share with Lotus Biscoff Cookies. 

These iconic cookies, known for their distinctive spiced flavor, are placed on top of the blondie batter. As they bake together, the cookies infuse their delicious taste and provide an enticing texture that perfectly complements the soft, chewy interior.

The combination of melted butter, dark brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract provides a luscious, sweet base, while the dry ingredients, including all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a hint of salt take things up a notch. For those seeking an extra oomph, crush some Biscoff cookies and sprinkle them over the Biscoff cookie dough before baking for added flavor and a satisfying crunch.

Serve these Biscoff cookie blondies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The contrast between the warm, gooey blondies and the cold, creamy ice cream is nothing short of divine.

Biscoff Cookie Blondies Ingredients

Butter – Butter is the foundation of these blondies, providing a rich, creamy flavor and soft texture. Salted or unsalted butter depends on your choice. However, if using salted butter, you may need to reduce the amount of salt in the recipe.

Dark Brown – Dark brown sugar is the key sweetener that brings depth and complexity to the blondies. Its high molasses content adds a caramel-like flavor, making these Biscoff cookie butter bars exceptionally indulgent.

Eggs – Eggs are crucial to binding the ingredients together and providing structure to the blondies. They also contribute to the soft, cakey texture. Make sure to use room-temperature eggs as they mix better in the batter and let it rise easily.

Vanilla Extract – Vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor profile of the blondies, infusing them with warm, aromatic sweetness. It complements the brown sugar caramel notes beautifully.

All-Purpose Flour – All-purpose flour is the primary dry ingredient in this recipe. It provides structure and thickness to the blondies. It's essential to achieve the right balance of chewiness and tenderness.

Baking Powder – Baking powder is the leavening agent that helps blondies rise and become light and fluffy with a cake-like texture.

Salt – Salt is a flavor enhancer that balances the sweetness of the brown sugar and enhances the overall taste of the blondies. It adds depth to the flavor profile.

Lotus Biscoff Cookies – The star of the show, crumbled Lotus Biscoff Cookies adds an enticing, spiced flavor and delightful crunch to these blondies. These cookies are known for their irresistible taste and are placed on top of the batter to create a signature look and flavor.

Easy Biscoff Cookie Blondies FAQs

Can I use light brown sugar instead of dark brown sugar?

Although dark brown sugar adds a caramelized flavor due to its molasses content and differentiates these Biscoff cookie blondies from brownies, you can still replace it with white sugar.

Can I use other cookie brands besides Lotus Biscoff?

While Lotus Biscoff Cookies are recommended for their unique, coffee-like flavor, you can experiment with other brands of cookies with a similar spiced flavor profile. However, remember that using different cookies may alter the overall taste of the blondies.

Why are my Biscoff Blondies dry in the middle?

One of the most common reasons for dry blondies is overbaking. Blondies should have a gooey or fudgy center with a melt-in-the-mouth texture. If you bake them for too long, they can become dry. To avoid this, check for doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs, but not completely clean.

Secondly, the ratios of ingredients can affect the texture of your blondies. If there is too much flour or not enough moisture, they can dry out. You can always avoid dry blondies by using a digital measuring scale instead of cups to ensure accurate ingredient amounts.

Success Tips for Biscoff Cookies Blondies

Don't Overmix: When incorporating the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stir until just combined. Overmixing builds up gluten in the batter, leading to dry and tough blondies.

Baking Time: Keep a close eye on your blondies while they bake. Oven temperatures can vary, so check for doneness around the 40-minute mark. They're ready when the edges turn golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.

Cooling Period: Allow the blondies to cool completely at least for 30 minutes in the baking pan before cutting them into squares. It helps them set up and ensures that the slices are clean and neat.

Storage: Store leftover blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them. When freezing, wrap them well in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
