The Ultimate Biscoff Crumbl Cookie Recipe (Australian Copycat)
Share
If you've spent any time on social media lately, you've undoubtedly seen them: the giant, soft, impossibly delicious cookies from the viral US brand, Crumbl. And right at the top of the must-try list is the legendary Biscoff Crumbl cookie. It's a masterpiece of warm, spiced cookie dough, loaded with creamy Biscoff spread, and topped with a signature Biscoff biscuit.
Why is Everyone Obsessed with Biscoff Crumbl Cookies?
The phenomenon isn't just about a single cookie; it's the fusion of two iconic culinary forces. On one hand, you have Crumbl, a brand that took the US by storm with its rotating weekly menu of oversized, gourmet cookies served warm. On the other, you have Lotus Biscoff, the Belgian biscuit with a cult-like following. When they come together, it's pure magic.
The Unique Texture of Crumbl Cookies
A Crumbl cookie isn't just any cookie. The signature appeal lies in its distinct texture. They are famously thick and substantial, yet incredibly soft and gooey in the centre. The edges have just a slight crispness, giving way to a dense, chewy interior that practically melts in your mouth. They are designed to be an experience, often served warm to enhance that fresh-from-the-oven feel. Our recipe is engineered to replicate this exact texture, giving you that authentic, satisfying bite.
The Irresistible Flavour of Lotus Biscoff
Lotus Biscoff, also known as speculoos, has a flavour profile that is truly unique. Originating in Belgium, these thin, crispy biscuits are made with a special blend of spices, most notably cinnamon, along with hints of nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. This creates a deep, caramelized, slightly spicy flavour that is comforting and addictive. When transformed into a creamy spread, it becomes a versatile ingredient that elevates everything it touches, especially a warm, buttery cookie.
The Perfect Biscoff Crumbl Cookie Recipe (Made for Aussies)

Prep Time: 20 minutes Chill Time: 30 minutes Bake Time: 12-14 minutes Yields: 12 large cookies
Ingredients You'll Need (Metric & Imperial)
We’ve included both metric grams (for accuracy) and imperial cups for convenience. For best results, we highly recommend using a kitchen scale.
- 225g (1 cup) Unsalted Butter, softened
- 150g (¾ cup) Brown Sugar, packed
- 100g (½ cup) Caster Sugar (or granulated sugar)
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 125g (½ cup) Smooth Lotus Biscoff Spread (find it in the international aisle at Coles/Woolies)
- 375g (2 ½ cups) Plain Flour (All-Purpose Flour)
- 1 tsp Baking Soda (Bicarbonate of Soda)
- ½ tsp Salt
- 12 Lotus Biscoff Biscuits, for topping
Step-by-Step Baking Instructions
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and caster sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and the smooth Biscoff spread until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the plain flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix the Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Important: Do not overmix! Overmixing develops the gluten and will result in a tough cookie instead of a soft one.
- Chill the Dough: This is our secret for thick, non-spreading cookies! Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat and Prepare: While the dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C Fan-Forced). Line two large baking trays with baking paper.
- Portion the Cookies: Remove the dough from the fridge. Using a large ice cream scoop or your hands, portion the dough into 12 large, equal-sized balls (about 100g each). Place 6 balls on each prepared tray, leaving plenty of space between them.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 12-14 minutes. The edges should be lightly golden, but the centres will look slightly underdone. This is key to achieving that soft, gooey middle.
- The Finishing Touch: As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, gently press one Lotus Biscoff biscuit into the top of each warm cookie.
- Cool Down: Let the cookies cool on the baking tray for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. They are best enjoyed warm!
Baker's Tips for a Perfect Crumbl-like Texture
- Don't skip the chilling step: Chilling the dough solidifies the butter, which prevents the cookies from spreading too thin in the oven, ensuring a thick, soft result.
- Measure your flour correctly: If you're not using a scale, use the "spoon and level" method. Spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife. Don't scoop directly from the bag, as this compacts the flour and can lead to dry cookies.
- Slightly underbake: The cookies will continue to bake from the residual heat of the tray. Pulling them out when the centres are still soft is crucial for that signature Crumbl chewiness.
