Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Step 2: Make the Brownie Batter

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
2. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 3: Prepare the Biscoff Swirl

1. In a small bowl, gently warm the Biscoff cookie butter in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds until it’s easier to swirl.

Step 4: Assemble the Brownies

1. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
2. Spoon dollops of the warmed Biscoff cookie butter over the brownie batter.
3. Add the remaining brownie batter on top and then swirl the Biscoff cookie butter into the batter using a knife or toothpick.

Step 5: Bake the Brownies

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
2. Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
