The first time I tried to bake gooey stuffed Biscoff cookies, I was feeling way too confident for someone who’d never successfully stuffed anything into cookie dough before. I froze the Biscoff like the blogs said, wrapped it lovingly in buttery dough, whispered a prayer, and threw them in the oven.

Five minutes in… disaster. They exploded like caramel-filled volcanoes. The kitchen smelled amazing, but the cookies? They looked like sugary roadkill. My partner tried to be supportive — “they’re rustic!” — but let’s just say they weren’t going on Pinterest.

Luckily, I’m stubborn in the kitchen. After multiple sticky failures, I finally cracked the code. So if you’re dreaming of perfect gooey stuffed Biscoff cookies that actually stay gooey and look gorgeous — I’ve got you.

What Are Gooey Stuffed Biscoff Cookies?

Why These Cookies Are Blowing Up

Every time I scroll through Pinterest or Instagram, I spot gooey stuffed Biscoff cookies doing their sexy cookie break — you know the one. Cracked open, warm, and dripping cookie butter like edible lava.

They’re the kind of cookie that looks bakery-made but is totally doable in a home kitchen. That’s why they’ve gone viral. (Think: chocolate chip pecan cookies… but with a molten center.)

What Makes Them “Stuffed” and “Gooey”?

It’s all in the frozen Biscoff core. You scoop Biscoff spread, freeze it, then wrap it in cookie dough. When baked, the dough firms up, while the center melts into a gooey surprise.

It’s like if no-bake preacher cookies had a dramatic oven-baked cousin — a little more intense, but oh-so worth it.

Biscoff in 30 Seconds

Biscoff = crushed Belgian spiced cookies turned into a dreamy, spreadable magic. It’s nut-free, dairy-free, and tastes like molasses crinkle cookies met shortbread and cinnamon toast.

Ingredients Breakdown & Smart Substitutes

All the essentials for the perfect gooey Biscoff-stuffed cookies — from brown sugar to that glorious cookie butter jar at the center.

Core Ingredients You’ll Need

To make perfect gooey stuffed Biscoff cookies, start with simple ingredients that work hard behind the scenes. You’ll need:

  • Unsalted butter – for richness and structure
  • Brown sugar + white sugar – this combo gives you chewy edges and soft centers
  • Eggs – to bind and create that bakery-style chew
  • Vanilla extract – because your cookies deserve flavor
  • All-purpose flour – tried, tested, and perfect for stuffed cookies
  • Cornstarch – for softness and extra lift
  • Baking soda + salt – essential for rise and balance
  • Chocolate chips – white, milk, or dark — your call
  • Biscoff spread – the star of the show, frozen into gooey nuggets

Best Biscoff to Use: Smooth or Crunchy?

You can use either version of Lotus Biscoff spread, but smooth gives you that dramatic lava flow when you break the cookie open. Crunchy adds a little texture — which can be fun if you’re after a bite with contrast. For ultimate gooeyness, smooth Biscoff wins.

Chocolate Pairing Ideas

Want to level up your gooey stuffed Biscoff cookies? White chocolate is a perfect match for the spiced cookie butter flavor. But milk chocolate adds sweetness, and dark chocolate gives you that bitter-rich edge. You can even swirl two types for a hybrid flavor bomb.

Smart Ingredient Swaps

If you’re baking for someone with food sensitivities or just want a creative twist:

  • Dairy-free: Use plant-based butter sticks
  • Egg-free: Swap for flax eggs or egg replacer
  • Gluten-free: Use a 1:1 GF baking flour blend
  • No Biscoff? Try other cookie butters or peanut butter (though gooeyness may vary)

Step-by-Step Baking Instructions for Gooey Stuffed Biscoff Cookies

From creaming to shaping — a visual guide to nailing gooey Biscoff-stuffed cookies every time.

1. Freeze the Biscoff Filling

Start by scooping teaspoon-sized blobs of Biscoff spread onto a parchment-lined tray. Freeze for at least 1 hour, or until firm. This step is key to getting that signature molten center inside your gooey stuffed Biscoff cookies — if it’s not frozen, it will just absorb into the dough instead of staying soft and gooey.

In a large bowl, cream softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet until fully incorporated. Fold in your choice of chocolate chips. You should now have a thick, scoopable stuffed cookie dough that smells like heaven.

Grab about 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten it in your palm, and place a frozen Biscoff center in the middle. Fold the dough around it and seal the edges tightly. Roll into a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough. Place cookie balls on a tray and chill for at least 30 minutes — this prevents over-spreading in the oven and helps maintain that molten cookie core.

4. Bake to Gooey Perfection

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake chilled cookie balls on a lined tray for 10–12 minutes. The edges should be golden brown, but the centers will look slightly underdone — that’s exactly what you want. As the cookies cool, the middle firms up just enough to stay gooey but not messy. That’s the secret to bakery-style gooey stuffed Biscoff cookies that impress every time.

Description

These gooey stuffed Biscoff cookies are thick, bakery-style cookies with a molten Biscoff spread center. Crispy on the outside, chewy around the edges, and irresistibly gooey inside — they’re the ultimate cookie for Biscoff lovers.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, browned and cooled slightly

  • 1 cup (200g) light brown sugar

  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (or chopped white chocolate)

  • 1 jar (approx. 13 oz) Biscoff cookie butter (smooth or crunchy), frozen into 1-tsp scoops

  • Flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Biscoff centers:
    Scoop out 1-teaspoon portions of Biscoff spread onto parchment paper. Freeze for at least 1 hour until solid.

  2. Brown the butter:
    In a saucepan, melt butter and cook until golden and nutty (about 5–7 minutes). Let it cool slightly.

  3. Make the dough:
    In a large bowl, whisk browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Fold in white chocolate.

  4. Stuff the cookies:
    Scoop 3-tablespoon-sized dough balls (about 90g each), flatten slightly, place a frozen Biscoff center in the middle, and seal tightly. Chill dough balls for at least 30 minutes or overnight.

  5. Bake:
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place chilled cookie balls on a parchment-lined tray. Bake for 10–13 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers slightly underbaked.

  6. Cool & enjoy:
    Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack. Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired.

Notes

  • For extra gooey centers, don’t overbake — they’ll finish setting outside the oven.

  • Smooth Biscoff gives a classic melt; crunchy adds texture.

  • These cookies freeze well — baked or unbaked.

  • You can make smaller cookies (45g dough) but reduce baking time accordingly.

How to Nail the Gooey Center Every Time

The whole point of gooey stuffed Biscoff cookies? That warm, melty center. If your filling disappears or ends up dry, it’s not the cookie you promised. Here’s how to keep the gooey magic alive:

Freeze the Biscoff First

Scoop small blobs of Biscoff spread and freeze them solid. This keeps the center from melting into the dough too soon. If you skip this, your gooey stuffed Biscoff cookies won’t have a molten middle — just a hollow surprise.

Chill the Dough

After stuffing, chill your cookie dough balls. Cold dough holds shape better and keeps the cookie butter in place. Want perfect stuffed Biscoff cookies? Don’t bake warm dough.

Bake Big, Pull Early

Go for large cookie dough balls — about 90g each. Bigger cookies mean more room for that gooey Biscoff center to melt slowly. Bake until just golden at the edges and soft in the middle.

Let Them Set

Once out of the oven, let your gooey stuffed Biscoff cookies sit for 10 minutes. This lets the center thicken slightly without losing its creamy texture.

Customize your gooey Biscoff cookies with creative toppings — from cookie crumbles to white chocolate and a drizzle of cookie butter perfection.

Even with the best recipe, gooey stuffed Biscoff cookies can go sideways. Here’s how to fix the most common fails — and how to store or gift your cookies so they stay delicious.

Biscoff Leaked Out?
Your Biscoff center may not have been frozen enough. Always freeze until solid, and wrap the cookie dough tightly around it. You want that gooey middle, not a sticky pan.

Cookies Spread Too Much?
Warm dough or too much butter can cause this. Chill the dough balls for at least 30–60 minutes before baking your gooey stuffed Biscoff cookies.

Dry or Crumbly Cookies?
Overbaking is the #1 culprit. Pull the cookies when the centers still look soft — that’s how you get the iconic gooey texture.

Storage & Reheating

Storing Baked Cookies:
Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days. To revive that gooey cookie center, microwave for 8–10 seconds before eating.

Freezing Dough Balls:
Prep and freeze your stuffed Biscoff cookie dough in advance. Bake straight from frozen — just add 2 minutes to the bake time.

Freezing Baked Cookies:
Cool completely, wrap tightly, and freeze up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven at 160°C (320°F) for 5 minutes for that fresh-baked gooeyness.

Gifting Tips

Want to share the cookie love?

  • Wrap each gooey stuffed Biscoff cookie in wax paper or cellophane
  • Use small boxes or cookie tins
  • Add a handwritten tag with reheating instructions (and a warning: they’re addictive)

These cookies make a perfect edible gift for holidays, birthdays, or just because. And trust us — people remember the gooey ones.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) about Gooey Stuffed Biscoff Cookies

Can I use crunchy Biscoff instead of smooth?

Absolutely! Crunchy Biscoff adds a subtle texture contrast inside the gooey center. Just freeze it well and expect a bit more spread due to added oil content.

Why did my Biscoff leak out while baking?

This usually happens when the Biscoff wasn’t frozen solid or the dough wasn’t sealed tightly. For best results, always freeze your filling and fully enclose it in dough.

How do I make gooey stuffed Biscoff cookies vegan?

Swap the butter with a plant-based alternative, use a flax egg, and ensure your chocolate chips are dairy-free. Biscoff spread is already vegan!

Can I freeze the cookie dough before baking?

Yes! Pre-stuffed dough balls can be frozen for up to 2 months. Bake directly from frozen — just add 1–2 minutes to the usual bake time.

What’s the ideal size for gooey stuffed cookies?

For bakery-style gooey centers, use ~90g of dough per cookie. Smaller cookies are doable but may lose some of the dramatic center melt.
