Why you’ll love cinnamon Biscoff cookie bars

These easy cookie bars are a fun and flavorful creation. Rich with caramel flavor and swirled with deliciously cinnamon Biscoff cookie butter that melts in your mouth with every bite, these cookie bars are soft and chewy with crispy golden brown edges. Simply perfect!

I’ve always loved this flavor combination in a cookie, and now it’s even easier to make as a bar- you can mix all the ingredients in just one bowl and bake them up in one 8 x 8 inch baking dish! So easy to make and even easier to clean up!

Recipe Tips for the best cinnamon Biscoff cookie bars

When you are creating the swirl of cookie butter on top of the bars right before they go in the oven, keep the cookie butter on the clumpier side and try to avoid mixing it into the batter too much. Just a light swirl with the knife will do the trick, you want to see lots of dough peeking through still!

Do not over bake them. The key to a soft and chewy cookie is to pull them out of the oven as soon as they puff up in the center and turn light golden brown around the edges. The same is true for cookie bars. This is not a secret, but it makes a HUGE difference in the texture of your cookie, and I think it also makes them last a little longer too!

FAQ

  • Cookie bars are actually a bar dessert rather than a cookie. Cookies are shaped or dropped onto a pan in individual serving sizes, while cookie bars are baked in a baking dish as one piece and sliced into individual sized pieces. The flavor outcome is very similar, and I find bar cookies to be even faster and easier than cookies!

  • You either have too much flour in the recipe

    • Your dough will look crumbly and be hard to compact together. Add 1 tablespoon of melted and cooled unsalted butter at a time until until the dough is just able to stick together.

    Or you left the pan in the oven too long

    • Sorry, there is really no way to fix this. The next time you bake this recipe, set a timer and check the bars five minutes early, then you can watch them closely until they are ready - they should be just lightly golden brown around the edges and puffy in the middle.

  • Biscoff cookies have a rich caramel flavor that is accented with light spices like cinnamon.

  • They are not the worst option, though they aren’t a health food either.

    • Pros - they contain wheat flour, which is rich in nutrients. They also contain real sugar instead of corn syrup.

    • Cons - They contain hydrogenated vegetable oils which are high in saturated fats.

  • Biscoff cookies contain a cozy flavor profile and texture - they are slightly spicy with cinnamon and sweet with rich caramel flavor, not to mention they are crispy and melt in your mouth. It is no wonder that people love Biscoff cookies so much!

How to make cinnamon Biscoff cookie bars

Prep

Melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly.

Preheat oven to 350℉. Line an 8 x 8 baking dish with parchment paper.

Mix the Dough

In a large bowl mix granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together.

Add the butter and mix well, scraping down the sides of the bowl.

Add 1/4 cup Biscoff cookie butter, egg, and vanilla and mix until well combined and scraping down the sides of the bowl.

Add the flour and mix until combined.

Bake

Pour the mixture into the parchment lined pan. With the remaining 1/4 cup of Biscoff cookie butter, drop it onto the top of the dough and lightly swirl it together with the dough, leaving globs here and there unswirled.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges become golden brown and the middle puffs up slightly.

Let cool and set in the pan for about 1 hour or until the bars are completely cooled.


How to Store

Store cinnamon Biscoff cookie bars at room temperature at room temperature in an air tight container for up to five days, or store in the refrigerator for up to five days. If stored in the refrigerator, let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, or pop in the microwave for five to ten seconds to warm to room temperature.

You can also freeze cinnamon Biscoff cookie bars easily. Just place (fully baked and cooled) in an air tight freezer container and store in the freezer for up to three months. Remove from the freezer and place in the refrigerator 24 hours prior to serving.
