Biscoff Slutty Brownies

Ok, let's start by addressing the name of this recipe! I didn't invent the term "slutty brownies" however it has become an increasingly common way to refer to what were previously know as brookies. Brookies are a type of traybake made up of a layer of cookie dough, a layer of Oreos and then brownie mix on top. As soon as I saw the new Biscoff sandwich biscuits, I knew I wanted to make Biscoff Slutty Brownies with them!

Let's go through the layers. First we have a cookie dough layer dotted with both milk and white chocolate chips. Then in the middle are Biscoff sandwich biscuits - two circular speculoos biscuits with a biscoff creme in the centre. On top are rich chocolate brownies swirled with Biscoff spread. They are incredibly indulgent and SO delicious!!

How to make Biscoff Slutty Brownies

Start by making the cookie dough layer. Mix butter and light brown sugar together, then add milk and vanilla extract. Then mix in plain flour, salt and chocolate chips. Press it into the bottom of your tin.

For the brownie layer, melt butter and dark chocolate together in a pan on a low heat. In a mixing bowl, whisk together light brown sugar, vanilla extract and eggs. Then pour the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and whisk to combine.

Then stir in plain flour, cocoa powder and chocolate chips. Before adding the brownie mix to the tin, first place the Biscoff sandwich biscuits all over the top of the cookie dough.

Then add the brownie mixture on top and then spoonfuls of Biscoff spread. Use a knife to swirl the Biscoff spread around, then put it in the oven to bake.

What is Biscoff?

Biscoff spread, made by the brand Lotus, is also known as cookie butter. It has a deep caramel flavour and a hint of cinnamon and other spices. Lotus are best known for their biscuits, which are commonly served with coffee. The biscuits are used to make the spread, and you can buy it in crunchy and smooth varieties. The spread is similar to Nutella or peanut butter in terms of texture, but it has a unique flavour. It is not gluten free, but it is vegan.

You can use regular Lotus Biscoff biscuits instead for the biscuit layer. I got the sandwich biscuits from Tesco, and Sainsburys sell them too. You can also order them online from Amazon.

Why are they called Slutty Brownies?

I have to say I am not a huge fan of the name, I much prefer the terms brookies or ultimate cookie dough brownies (both better names if you're making them with your kids!) But the internet has grasped onto the term and it's now the most well known way to refer to this combination.

From my research, the concept of Slutty Brownies emerged online in May 2011. Both KevinAndAmanda.com and The Londoner are credited with being the first to post recipes. Their recipes both use box mixes, which I personally cannot endorse as I am very much a make it from scratch girl! However, myself (along with thousands of others I'm sure) will always be grateful for them for introducing this recipe concept to the world!

Tips for making the Biscoff Slutty Brownies:

• If you don't have, or can't get hold of light brown soft sugar, you can use caster sugar for the cookie and brownie layers instead.
• I used a mixture of white and milk chocolate chips for the cookies, and dark chocolate chips for the brownies. You can mix this up any way you prefer. Use white chocolate chips only for example, or dark chocolate in the cookies and white and milk in the brownies - whatever you fancy!
• The brownies can be frozen. Wrap them well and freeze for up to 3 months.

Instructions

• Pre-heat your oven to 160C Fan/180C/350F/Gas Mark 4, line a 8" square tin with greaseproof paper. I grease the tin first with a little butter to help the paper stick to it
• To make the cookie dough base, using a stand mixer with the paddle attachement, or by hand with a spoon, mix the butter and sugar together until fluffy and well combined
• Add the milk and vanilla extract and mix well until combined
• Then add the plain flour and salt, and mix until a dough forms
• Finally mix in the chocolate chips until well distributed
• Press the cookie dough into the bottom of the tin using your hands, try and make it an even layer
• Put the cookie dough in the fridge while you make the brownies, or for at least 30 minutes
• To make the brownie batter, melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a pan on a low heat. When fully melted, stir together and remove from the heat. Let it cool for 10 minutes
• In a mixing bowl whisk together the eggs and light brown sugar until frothy, by hand with a whisk or with an electric whisk
• Add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the egg and sugar mixture, whisking constantly as you pour it in
• Add the plain flour and cocoa powder, and whisk in gently
• Then stir in the chocolate chips
• Take the tin with the cookie dough in it out of the fridge and cover them with the Biscoff sandwich biscuits, you may need to chop some of the biscuits in half to fully cover the cookie dough
• Pour the brownie batter over the top, then add spoonfuls of the Biscoff spread all over. Use a butter knife to swirl it around a little bit - don't over mix
• Bake for 45-55 minutes, the brownie layer should not wobble (or only very slightly) when you gentle shake the tin
• Let the brownies cool completely in the tin before removing and slicing up
• Store in an airtight container in a cool place and eat within 3 days, they can also be frozen
