i have another cupcake recipe for you today.  i am super excited because i came up with it on my own.  okay maybe not completely on my own but i didn’t just copy a recipe.  go me!  i saw a few different versions of biscoff cupcakes on pinterest and google, but i think i came up with a winner!

biscoff biscuits are the cookies you get on delta flights.  they are absolutely addictive and delicious.  they have a nice cinnamony flavor and a lovely buttery, crispy texture.  yum!  what’s even better is that someone had the genius idea to crush up these biscoff cookies and turn them into butter.  i’ve used biscoff spread before in the chocolate snack cake with biscoff buttercream and it was super good, but i was excited to come up with a cupcake that highlighted the biscoff cookies in all its glory.

this cupcake is inspired by a miki’s kitchen favorite, oreo cupcakes and i just used biscoff cookies instead of oreos.  so there is 1/2 a cookie on the bottom of a white cupcake filled with biscoff cookie chunks.  it is then topped with a swirl of biscoff buttercream and decorated with another half of a biscoff cookie.

so much biscoff goodness is packed in this cupcake!  oh and a quick tip, i was able to find biscoff spread and cookies at costco.  it was so much cheaper getting a big ol’ jar of the spread and a 4 pack of the cookies, than buying smaller quantities at my local grocery store.  plus i can make even more biscoff goodies with the leftovers!

the cupcakes start with the biscoff cookie “crust.”  just place half a cookie on the bottom of each lined cupcake cup.

then mix up the white or vanilla cake mix as directed on the box.  add 20 biscoff cookies chopped or broken into small pieces.
