Oven Temperatures

Oven temperatures can vary significantly from one oven to another. To achieve consistent results, it’s crucial to know the exact temperature inside your oven. The safest and most accurate way to determine this is by using an oven thermometer. This simple tool can help you avoid underbaking or overbaking your treats.

Commonly Asked Questions

Can I use different spices in the recipe?

Absolutely! While the recipe calls for specific spices, feel free to experiment with your favorites. You could try adding nutmeg or even a dash of cayenne for a little kick. Just keep in mind that altering the spices may change the overall flavor profile of the cookies.

Do I have to use Javamelts Caramel Flavored Sugar?

The Javamelts Caramel Flavored Sugar takes these homemade Biscoff cookies over the top. However, if you don’t have caramel flavored sugar, you can use regular sugar in this recipe. It won’t have quite the same depth of flavor but still be delicious.

How do I store leftover cookies?

To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay good for about a week, but I doubt they’ll last that long! If you want to keep them for a longer period, consider freezing them; they freeze well for up to three months.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance! Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap after mixing and refrigerate it. This not only saves you time later but also enhances the flavors as the dough rests.

What should I do if my cookies are too soft after baking?

If your cookies come out too soft, they might need a bit more baking time. Each oven is different, so keep an eye on them during the last few minutes. If they’re still soft after cooling, you can pop them back in the oven for a couple of minutes.

How can I make the icing for the cookies?

Although the recipe doesn’t include icing, you can easily make a simple royal icing using powdered sugar and water or a dairy-free milk substitute. Mix until you reach your desired consistency, and then pipe or spread it onto your cooled cookies for an added sweet touch!

Notes

Make sure that your butter is a room temperature and soft before mixing up your cookie dough. Never over work your dough, mixing until the ingredients are just combined. This will keep the finished cookies tender. Last, make sure you allow the dough to chill for at least an hour before rolling it out and baking. This will reharden the butter and allow the cookies to bake without spreading thin too quickly.
