Instructions
Step 1: Add Everything to the Saucepan
In a small saucepan, add ½ cup Biscoff cookie butter, ½ cup water, ⅓ cup brown sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine before turning on the heat.
Step 2: Heat and Whisk Until Smooth
Turn the stove to medium heat and whisk the mixture continuously. Heat until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture looks smooth and glossy, about 4–5 minutes. Don’t let it boil.
Step 3: Cool Slightly and Transfer

Why This Recipe Works (Quick Science)
The water thins the cookie butter just enough for a pourable texture. Brown sugar adds richness and helps it stay smooth. Heating everything gently melts the sugar and emulsifies the fats in the cookie butter without causing separation. A pinch of salt balances out the sweetness.
Common Mistakes
- Overheating: Boiling can make it separate or get too thick
- Not stirring enough: Sugar can clump or burn if you stop whisking
- Using cold jar: Pouring hot syrup into a cold jar can cause cracking
- Skipping the salt: That tiny pinch makes a big difference in flavor
- Using crunchy cookie butter without straining: It’ll clog your syrup bottle
What to Serve With
- Drizzle into hot or iced coffee
- Pour over pancakes or waffles
- Stir into milk for a cookie latte
- Top vanilla ice cream or yogurt
- Mix with whipped cream for dessert topping
