Decorated Biscoff Cut-Out Cookies for St. Patrick’s Day
Do you know about Biscoff? It’s cookie butter. So, the cookies have a creamy kind of texture, like a peanut butter cookie, but the flavor is more caramelly, cinnamony, brown sugary. They are insane!

I made these cookies with Bake at 350’s recipe. They are Biscoff cut-outs! Do you know about Biscoff? It’s cookie butter. Like, as in, cookies, not peanuts, crushed up into cookie butter, not peanut butter. I mean… what evil genius came up with that idea? Can you even???

Thanks for reading all my St. Patrick’s Day ramblings over the last few posts…! I know it’s kind of a minor holiday that not everyone bothers with, but I think there’s a lot of food fun to be had around the Irish theme.
Stop back over in the coming weeks for some great Easter and Passover ideas!

I made these cookies as you recommended and substituted peanut butter. I’ve never tried cookie butter, is it stiffer than peanut butter? The dough was a wee bit soft, next time I may add a couple tablespoons more flour and see how that goes. These baked up nice, had great peanut butter flavor and were very easy to decorate with royal icing. I can’t wait to make these again, they were absolutely delicious with the peanut butter! I have not tried one of your recipes that I didn’t like!
Aw, that is so nice to hear Kathy! I’m so glad you were pleased with the cookies. As for your cookie butter question- I guess it depends on the kind of peanut butter you’re using. I’ve noticed that natural peanut butter tends to be a lot looser than say, Jif brand. Cookie butter spread tends to be more like Jif. But your instincts are good- if your dough is too soft, a couple tablespoons of flour would probably do the trick. Thanks again for the positive feedback!
