Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Biscoff cookie butter
  • 1 ½ cups M&M’s, plus extra for topping

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: Using a mixer, beat the butter and both sugars on medium speed for 1–2 minutes until fully combined and creamy.
  4. Step 4: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well incorporated.
  5. Step 5: Mix in the Biscoff cookie butter and continue beating for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until smooth.
  6. Step 6: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, beating just until combined. Fold in the M&M’s, reserving some for the tops of the cookies.
  7. Step 7: Using a cookie scoop or large spoon, drop large rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently press a few reserved M&M’s onto the top of each cookie, taking care not to flatten the dough too much—you want thick cookies.
  8. Step 8: Bake for 12–14 minutes until the edges are golden and set. The centers might look slightly soft—this ensures chewy cookies once cooled.
  9. Step 9: Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra chewiness, try chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Substitute peanut butter for Biscoff spread for a different nutty flavor.
  • Mix in white or dark chocolate chips along with the M&M’s for more chocolate variety.
  • Use mini M&M’s to get more evenly distributed chocolate in every bite.

Storage

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a sealed container for up to 3 months. To reheat, warm briefly in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to recapture that soft texture.

How to Serve

A stack of four soft, golden-brown cookies with a slightly cracked texture sits on a white marbled surface. Each cookie is embedded with bright red and green candy-coated chocolate pieces showing through the cookie dough in random places. A single cookie lies flat in front of the stack, displaying its colorful candy pieces and slightly uneven surface. Scattered around the cookies are loose red and green candy pieces that add contrast to the warm tones of the cookies. The overall look is festive and inviting. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Biscoff cookie butter

Add-ins

  • 1 ½ cups M&M’s, reserve some for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside as it forms the base of your cookie dough.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a mixer on medium speed, combine the softened butter with the granulated and brown sugars for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and fully amalgamated, creating a creamy base.
  4. Add Egg, Vanilla, and Biscoff: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined. Then incorporate the Biscoff cookie butter and mix for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, ensuring an even distribution of that signature flavor.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, beating just until combined to avoid overmixing which could toughen the cookies. Fold in the M&M’s gently.
  6. Shape Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or large spoon, portion out large rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Lightly press the tops of the cookie dough balls to slightly flatten each one without losing their thickness for a chewy interior.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes until edges are golden and set. The cookies might look a bit soft or gooey in the center; this is ideal as they will firm up during cooling.
  8. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them onto a wire rack to cool completely for about 10 minutes before serving, allowing flavors to mature and the texture to stabilize.

Notes

  • Do not overbake the cookies to maintain a chewy texture.
  • You can reserve some M&M’s to press on top of the cookies before baking for a decorative finish.
  • Letting the cookies cool on a wire rack prevents sogginess from steam.
  • Room temperature butter is crucial for proper creaming with sugars.
  • For extra crunch, use crunchy Biscoff spread or add chopped nuts if desired.
