Ingredients

Scale

Cupcakes

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup crushed Biscoff cookies

Frosting

8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
½ cup Biscoff spread

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners to prepare for baking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
Cream Butter and Eggs: In a separate large bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time to the mixture, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
Combine and Fold: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the batter. Fold in the crushed Biscoff cookies carefully to maintain texture.
Fill and Bake: Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack.
Prepare Frosting: Beat cream cheese in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar, followed by the Biscoff spread, until the frosting is well combined and fluffy.
Frost Cupcakes: Once cupcakes are completely cooled, spread or pipe the Biscoff cream cheese frosting over the tops evenly. Serve or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature for smooth blending.
Do not overmix the batter to keep cupcakes tender.
Crushing Biscoff cookies by hand or with a food processor creates texture contrasts in the cupcake.
For a more intense Biscoff flavor, add a small amount of Biscoff spread to the cupcake batter itself.
Store cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
