Biscoff Blondies from Bake & Bacon

Biscoff Blondies - made August 4, 2023 from Bake & Bacon

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons biscoff spread

1 cup light brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

1 large egg yolk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

8 Biscoff cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and cookie butter until combined. Add brown sugar, egg, egg yolk and vanilla, mixing until completely combined.
3. Stir in the flour, baking powder and salt, mixing until just combined. Pour into an even layer in prepared pan. Gently press Biscoff cookies over the top.
4. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few crumbs. Remove from oven and cool completely before cutting and serving.

I had high hopes for this blondie but I didn't love it as much as I thought I would. The flavor was fine and it was easy to make.

It was the texture I didn't love. I don't think I overbaked it as I took it out around the 25-minute mark as that's when the toothpick came out clean.

And you can see by the pictures that it doesn't look dry. It actually had a "fudgy" texture but it wasn't as moist as I had hoped. It did have a drier mouthfeel without being dry, if that makes sense.

It was still good and I typically like cookie butter anything. If you make these, I recommend dolloping cookie butter within the blondie before you pour all the batter in. That'll not only amp up the cookie butter flavor but provide pockets of more moisture inside.
