1-First Step: Gather and Prep Your Ingredients Start with mise en place to keep things smooth. Pull out your 1 box spice cake mix, ¾ cup cookie butter, and ⅓ cup coconut oil. Let the cookie butter sit at room temp for 5 minutes to soften. Measure everything into bowls. This prevents scrambling and ensures even mixing for uniform Biscoff cookies. Pro tip: Line a baking sheet with parchment for easy chilling later.

2-Second Step: Melt the Coconut Oil In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the coconut oil in 20-second bursts, stirring between. It should be liquid but not hot, about 1 minute total. This binds the dry cake mix without eggs, keeping your cookie butter cookies vegan and no-cook. If you lack coconut oil, clarified butter works but check dietary needs. Stir smooth to avoid lumps later.

3-Third Step: Combine Dry and Wet Bases In a large bowl, scoop the softened cookie butter. Add the entire box of dry cake mix. Use a sturdy spoon or hand mixer on low to blend until crumbly, about 1-2 minutes. The spices in the mix wake up the biscoff spread, creating that lotus Biscoff magic. Scrape sides often for full incorporation. Dough looks sandy now, but it transforms next.

4-Fourth Step: Mix in the Oil to Form Dough Pour the melted coconut oil over the crumbly mix. Stir vigorously until a soft dough forms, 2-3 minutes. It pulls from bowl sides and holds shape when pinched. If too dry, add 1 tsp milk; too sticky, sprinkle 1 tbsp cake mix. Knead briefly by hand for even texture. This step locks in flavor for chewy Biscoff stuffed cookies potential.

5-Fifth Step: Scoop and Shape the Cookies Preheat nothing, since no bake! Use a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop for 24 even balls. Roll smooth between palms, place 2 inches apart on parchment-lined sheet. For stuffed version, flatten half, add 1 tsp extra cookie butter, top with another, seal. Press gently for rustic look. This yields soft cookies that spread slightly when chilled.

6-Sixth Step: Chill to Set Pop the sheet in fridge for 20-30 minutes until firm. They hold shape perfectly. Meanwhile, crush extra Biscoff cookies for topping if desired. Chilling develops flavors as spices meld. Test one: it should give softly but not stick.

7-Final Step: Serve and Enjoy Transfer to plate. Drizzle melted cookie butter or sprinkle sea salt. Pair with coffee or milk. Store leftovers as below. Each bite bursts with easy cookie butter cookies cake mix goodness. Makes 24, serving 12.
