I’ll be honest, it took me way too long to hear the words “cookie butter” and “Biscoff” over and over before I realized people were talking about things you can eat and not like, feuding young pop stars.

And that actually surprises me, since I have no shame in encouraging collaborations where awesome things are like cookies are smushed into other awesome things, like butter. When you think about it, though, Biscoff cookies aren’t the most obvious choice for culinary innovation. They’re pretty prim little cookies―very useful on airplanes and, of course, sweet and tasty (cinnamon-flecked with a hint of caramelization).
But they’re also restrained and European. And yet, continuing into fall of 2026, these polite Belgian rectangles have evolved into the new hotness of culinary collaborations. So with fall on its way, and more pumpkin flavors coming at us than we might have tastebuds for, we thought we’d round up all the ways we can get our Biscoff on this fall.
Classic Lotus Biscoff Cookie
First, there’s the cookie. Fun fact, “Biscoff” is a particular brand of a much larger―equally restrained and European―variety of thin, spicy cookie called speculoos. (Fun fact number two: “Biscoff” equals biscuit plus coffee.) The original cookie was created in Belgium in the early 1930s, but was introduced to Americans via Delta Airlines of all places in the 1980s. We dipped, sipped, and fell in love.
Biscoff Cookie Butter
It sounds so much more like an American invention. But Biscoff Cookie Butter is also fully European, the brainchild of Belgian reality show contestant Els Scheppers in the late 2000s. (To be fair, Belgian parents were already crushing the cookies onto buttered bread for their kids; Scheppers just figured, why not make the cookie into butter? The Biscoff company―also the rest of us―agreed.)
Shake Shack Cookie Butter Tiramisu Shake
Shake Shack never lets anything awesome stay just awesome. So obviously their recently launched Biscoff collab also incorporates the seductive deliciousness of Tiramisu. It’s a logical combination since Biscoff cookies are meant to go with coffee. Instead of coffee, though, you get coffee flavors in the Tiramisu custard, which is “hand-spun” with Biscoff Cookie Butter and Biscoff Cookie Crumbs, plus whipped cream and yet more Biscoff Cookie Crumbs.
Nothing Bundt Cakes Biscoff Cookie Butter Cake
A fan favorite, the Biscoff Cookie Butter bundt is made with Biscoff Cookie Butter incorporated into the actual cake batter, with Biscoff cookies on the top and bottom and Biscoff cookie butter drizzle. Available for a limited time (August 17th through October 11th), it’s kind of perfectly nostalgic with those warm (yet classy) European spices―no surprise a slice of this would go so dreamily with coffee.
Handel’s Ice Cream Cheesecake with Biscoff Cookies Flavor
The Youngstown, Ohio-based Handel’s just released this unique combination flavor―cheesecake ice cream, with swirls of Biscoff Cookie Butter and crunchy Biscoff Cookies. Since most collaborations tend to go for caramel and spice, this one is kind of intriguing, with the cheesecake flavored ice cream. Actually the crunchy Biscoff cookies kind of call to mind maybe a graham cracker crust on a classic cheesecake.
Krispy Kreme Biscoff Donuts
Krispy Kreme might win for the Biscoffiest creation yet. Besides a Maple Cheesecake donut (that should be sent to every American they way they used to send us covid tests), their fall menu features a Biscoff Cookie Butter Donut, and even for a donut, it’s decadent: filled with Biscoff Cookie Butter Kreme, glazed with Biscoff Cookie Butter icing, topped with yet more crumbled Biscoff cookie pieces, and (my teeth are screaming) drizzled with white icing.
