# What You Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 1 1/2 cups (150 g) rolled oats
02 - 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
03 - 1/2 tsp baking soda
04 - 1/4 tsp salt
05 - 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
→ Wet Ingredients
06 - 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
07 - 1/2 cup (120 g) creamy Biscoff spread
08 - 1/2 cup (100 g) light brown sugar
09 - 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
10 - 1 large egg
11 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
→ Mix-ins
12 - 10 Lotus Biscoff cookies, roughly chopped (plus extra for topping if desired)
# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, Biscoff spread, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
04 - Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
05 - Stir in the dry ingredients until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
06 - Fold in the chopped Lotus Biscoff cookies until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
07 - Scoop dough in 2-tablespoon portions onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Optionally, press extra Biscoff cookie pieces on top of each portion.
08 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers are still slightly soft.
09 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- The combination of Biscoff spread and ground cinnamon creates a caramel like warmth that makes your whole kitchen smell incredible while they bake.
- Rolling chewy oats and crunchy Lotus biscuit pieces into the same dough gives you the best texture contrast in every single bite.
02 -
- If you overbake these cookies even by a couple of minutes they will lose their chewy center and become crisp throughout, so always pull them when the centers still look slightly doughy.
- Chopping the Lotus biscuits into uneven pieces rather than uniform crumbs creates the best texture because some bites will have a satisfying crunch and others will melt into the dough.
03 -
- Scoop all the dough onto baking sheets before you start baking so you can get the second tray into the oven immediately without any delay.
- For the most even cookies, roll each portion of dough into a rough ball between your palms rather than just dropping it haphazardly onto the sheet.
