Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup crushed Biscoff cookies
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ½ cup Biscoff spread

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Step 3: In another bowl, cream the softened butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Step 4: Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, then fold in the crushed Biscoff cookies.
  5. Step 5: Fill the cupcake liners two-thirds full and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
  6. Step 6: For the frosting, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then mix in the powdered sugar and Biscoff spread until well combined. Spread or pipe the frosting over cooled cupcakes.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra crunch, sprinkle some additional crushed Biscoff cookies on top of the frosting.
  • You can substitute regular sugar with brown sugar for a deeper caramel flavor in the cupcakes.
  • If you prefer a lighter frosting, use half the cream cheese and half whipped cream.
  • Make mini cupcakes for bite-sized treats perfect for parties.

Storage

Store the cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring them to room temperature before serving for the best flavor. If needed, gently reheat cupcake bases without frosting in the microwave for a few seconds, but avoid heating frosted cupcakes to preserve texture.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt to evenly combine the dry components.
