These Biscoff-Pumpkin Spice Spritz Cookies are made with cookie butter spread. This butter is the irresistible, spreadable treat made from Biscoff Cookies. By adding some pumpkin pie spice, I achieved a crispy cookie with a perfect balance of ginger and cinnamon. These turned out to be even better than I had imagined! While a cookie press is fun to work with, you can scoop the dough, shape the into balls and then flatten them.
Spritz cookies are fun to make, but you don’t necessary need a cookie press to make these. I was hoping for a crispy cookie with the spice of a Biscoff cookie for fall. I’m happy to say, these were successful! Without further adieu, here’s how I made them:
You’ll be glad that you baked these cookies. Stat. I’m so behind with all the trendy ingredients that go viral on food blogs. Biscoff Spread is so “last year”. I know. I’ve been trying to think of a way to use this ingredient in a way that not everyone else has. Good luck with that, because when I get an idea for a recipe, someone else already has. Sigh. (Oh, and Trader Joe’s sells Cookie Butter, which is a clone of Biscoff spread.) As far as I can tell, nobody has made spritz cookies with Biscoff, so I’m claiming them!
This year, I haven’t made anything with pumpkin. I adore pumpkin, but I don’t like the way pumpkin cookies turn out. They have a fluffy, biscuit texture, and I prefer a crunchy cookie. If it has a chewy center, even better. In my last post, I shared the Butter Spritz Cookies, using my new OXO Cookie Press. I wondered if I substituted half the butter for Biscoff spread, and added some pumpkin spice, if the cookies would work out okay.
I wanted an excuse to use the “Turkey” Disk that came with the OXO Autumn Disk Set. It takes a little bit of patience to press the level, on the cookie press, until the first cookie dough comes out. It’s usually a bit wonky, so I just scrape it off and toss it back into the bowl of dough.
Biscoff-Pumpkin Spice Spritz Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup unsalted butter 1-stick, softened (about 70°F)
- 1/2 cup Biscoff Spread
- 2/3 cup sugar about 4 3/4-ounces
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon table salt
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 10-ounces
Instructions
- Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 375°F. In small bowl, beat yolk, cream, and vanilla with fork until combined; set aside.
- In standing mixer, cream butter, Biscoff spread, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Scrape down bowl with rubber spatula. With mixer running at medium speed, add yolk/cream mixture and beat until incorporated, about 30 seconds.
- Scrape down bowl. With mixer running at low speed, gradually beat in flour until combined. Scrape down bowl and give final stir with rubber spatula to ensure that no flour pockets remain.
- If using cookie press to form cookies, follow manufacturer’s instructions to fill press; if using pastry bag, press or pipe cookies onto un-greased baking sheets, spacing them about 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Bake one sheet at a time until cookies are light golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through baking time. Cool cookies on baking sheet until just warm, 10 to 15 minutes; using metal spatula, transfer to wire rack and cool to room temperature.
Notes
As a biscoff addict, these definitely seem like the kind of cookies I couldn't have just one of!
I just finished my first jar of Biscoff Spread and I'm already addicted. It's going to be a staple in my cupboard from now on. Love your little turkey cookies, Debby, and this recipe. Can't wait to try it. I feel your pain about lighting. Our days are short and dark here and taking photos becomes a real challenge.
Pumpkin and biscoff. You can;t go wrong!
I prefer crunchy cookies, too. The soft pumpkin ones are good, but not my favorite. I have *never* had good luck with a cookie press! I think a press makes the most adorable cookies for Christmas trays, but every time I tried it, it made me crazy!
I thought I had pretty much tried all of the varieties of Spritz cookies, but this is a new one on me, and it sounds soooo delicious. I am trying these for sure.
