HOW TO MAKE BISCOFF CUPCAKES:

Make the cupcakes:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and prep a 12-count cupcake pan with liners.
  2. Add the butter, sugar, and cookie butter to a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric hand whisk until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the vanilla and the eggs one by one, beating after each addition until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients and gently fold together until just combined.
  6. Distribute the cupcake mixture between your 12 cupcake cases. Each should be approx. 2/3 of the way full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a skewer poked into the center of a cake comes out clean.
  8. Leave in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the cookie butter frosting:

  1. Add the butter to a large mixing bowl and sift in the powdered sugar. Mix with an electric hand mixer, mix until combined and fluffy, 3 minutes.
  2. Add the cookie butter and milk and beat again until smooth and fluffy. The frosting should be spreadable but still hold its shape when spooned out of the bowl.

Assemble the cupcakes:

  1. Spread or pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes. I used a piping bag fitted with a Wilton 1M nozzle to pipe swirls on top.
  2. Decorate each cupcake with a drizzle of melted cookie butter and some Speculoos cookie crumbs if desired.
