How to Make Biscoff Nutella Thumbprint Cookies
Can I Use Store-Brand Nutella? Can I use A Different Spread Instead?
I used real Nutella to fill these cookies, but any hazelnut spread should work – just note that other brands’ sweetness levels may differ, so this will impact the overall sweetness level of the cookies.
The Biscoff
I used Lotus Biscoff spread, and I haven’t tried any other brands here – but Trader Joe’s Cookie Butter should work just fine. Let me know in the comments below if you try this out!
Measure Your Flour Correctly
I highly recommend using a digital kitchen scale to ensure precision. When measuring with cups, it’s so easy to accidentally compact your ingredients, particularly flour, and add too much – resulting in dry cookies that don’t spread. If you don’t have a scale, use the spoon-and-level method.
Don’t Reduce the Sugar
Sugar does much more beyond providing sweetness in cookies – it also plays a big part in their texture. Learn more about sugar’s role in baking here.
How to Store Biscoff Nutella Thumbprint Cookies
Store baked, cooled Biscoff Nutella Thumbprint Cookies inside an airtight container for 3 days. Store with a tortilla to keep the cookies softer for longer.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (191 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3/4 cup Biscoff spread (or other cookie butter)
- 1 stick (113 grams) unsalted butter, at a cool room temperature
- 1/3 cup (67 grams) packed light-brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla exract
- 1/2 cup Nutella (or other chocolate hazelnut spread)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line large baking sheets with parchment or silicone baking mats.
- In a small bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer beat the Biscoff spread and butter on medium speed until smooth. Add the sugars and beat until light in color and well combined. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. On low speed gradually add the flour mixture and beat until just combined.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the cookies are puffy, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and made indentations in the center of each cookie with the end of a wooden spoon. Return to the oven and continue to bake until the edges are just lightly golden, about 5 to 6 minutes more. Transfer the sheets to wire racks and let the cookies cool completely.
- Spoon or pipe the Nutella evenly among the cookie thumbprints. Serve or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Yum! Lucky for me…I just bought a container of Biscoff and I NEED to use it so I don’t eat it all with a spoon, and I just found a half eaten container of Nutella lurking at the bottom of my random baking bin. So glad you posted this, I’m sure my sorority sisters are too! 🙂
Love this combination. Recantly I baked some wonton wrapper cups and filled them with a bottom layer of Biscoff whipped with some cream cheese and a top layer of Nutella whipped with cream cheese. Easy and scrumptios bites!
Love your blog.

Oo nice! I just made peanut butter nutella thumbprints the other day and someone was bummed about their nut allergy preventing them from making the cookies. Biscoff is a great trade!
You’re right! I totally thought this was a Hershey’s kiss sitting in the thumbprint.
And you’re totally right about I Heart Organizing. I’m obsessed, and really shouldn’t be without a proper house to organize yet.
I literally just made my roommate look at this post because it is so absolutely perfect. Pairing Biscoff and Nutella?! Freaking genius.
