This moist cupcake recipe is made with Biscoff cookies, which are crisp little Belgian cookies, also known as Speculoos in Europe, and similar to gingersnaps.
A few years ago, the cookies were turned into a delicious brown sugar and spice, peanut butter-like cookie spread with a cinnamon-caramel-gingersnap-like flavor, gaining fans rapidly.
The main ingredient in the spread is cookies, which is why it’s also referred to as cookie butter. The spread is becoming more widely available, and while you can spread it on toast or crackers easily, more and more people, including avid bakers, are wondering what else they can do with it. Enter these Biscoff cupcakes. They’re a good everyday snack and pretty enough to serve at brunch or for dessert with coffee.
