Instructions
Cupcakes
- Preheat your oven to 180C (356F) or 160C (320F) for a fan forced oven. Line a cupcake tin with cupcake liners.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the flour, baking powder, caster sugar and salt. Turn mixer on low speed and allow it to mix for a couple minutes to help everything combine well (alternatively you may do this by sifting the ingredients together). Add the softened butter and let it mix until it resembles a fine sand like texture.
- Next, add milk, eggs, yogurt, oil and vanilla extract in a large jug and whisk well.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients in a slow and steady stream until no dry ingredients are visible. Scrape down the bowl, add ½ cup cookie butter and mix for another 20 seconds.
- Fill each cupcake liner 3/4 of the way (using an ice cream scoop to transfer the batter into the cupcake liners makes this a quick and easy process otherwise you can use two tablespoons). Sprinkle the top of each cupcake liner with a generous amount of crushed cookies. Bake for 20-25 min or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow them to cool completely on a wire cooling rack before frosting.
- To prepare cookie butter frosting combine frosting and cookie butter together.
- Core the centre of each cupcake and fill with cookie butter
- Fit the end of a piping bag a Wilton 1M tip and frost in a swirl. Drizzle melted cookie butter. Finish off with a sprinkle of cookies.
Notes
Cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.

What is cookie butter please?
Hi Jody. Cookie butter is a cookie flavoured spread usually made of speculoos cookies. The most popular brand is Lotus, but it is also made by other companies. They’re all pretty much the same. Hope that helps? N x
When you say cupcakes can be store in an airtight container , would that be in the fridge or room temperature
For these ones room temp is fine. I generally put anything with fresh or frozen berries in the fridge otherwise they spoil quicker. N x
This looks amazing, I want to try to bake them tomorrow for my friend’s birthday and I was wondering how many cupcakes does the recipe yield?
Would you recommend I do the biscoff copies with melted butter at the bottom of the cupcake before adding the batter or stick to the way you did it?
Thank you!
Hi Koko! THis recipe makes 12 cupcakes 🙂 I’d say the way I made them gives you a load of biscoff flavor already. N x
Love this recipe, would you have the conversions to make this into a cake instead of a cupcake?
Hi there! Hmm, I’ve not made it into a cake so unfortunately I don’t have those handy. N x
