Why you will love this recipe?

You’ll love this recipe because one simple cookie dough creates four completely different flavours, saving time while maximizing variety. The texture is perfectly soft and chewy with bakery-style edges, and each flavour feels unique and indulgent.

Expert Tips for Best Results!

• Measure Flour Correctly for Perfect Texture – For soft and chewy bakery style cookies, avoid scooping flour directly with the measuring cup. Instead, fluff the flour first, then spoon and level it. Too much flour will make the cookies dry and prevent proper spreading.
• Freeze the Biscoff Filling Properly – For perfectly stuffed Biscoff cookies, freeze the Biscoff spread balls until solid. This prevents leaking during baking and ensures a gooey centre once the cookies cool slightly.
• Balance Add-Ins to Avoid Dense Cookies – When creating different cookie flavors from one cookie dough, keep mix-ins balanced. Too many heavy additions like caramel or pistachios can weigh down the dough and affect spreading. Stick close to the recommended quantities for bakery-style results.
• Underbake Slightly for Soft Centres – For that classic soft bakery cookie texture, remove the cookies when the edges are set but the centres still look slightly underdone. They will continue cooking on the tray and stay perfectly chewy.
• Chill If Dough Feels Too Soft – If your kitchen is warm and the dough feels overly soft after mixing in add-ins, chill it for 20–30 minutes. This helps control spreading and keeps the cookie box looking neat and professional.

How to make Bakery Style Cookies Box?

Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients

First, in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornflour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mixing the dry ingredients evenly ensures your bakery style cookies bake uniformly with the perfect chewy texture.

Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugars Properly

Next, in a large bowl, combine the very soft butter with white sugar and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy. Proper creaming helps create that soft centre and slightly crisp edge that makes bakery style cookies irresistible.

Step 3: Add Eggs and Vanilla

Now add the whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated and silky. The extra yolk adds richness and chewiness, giving the base cookie dough its signature texture.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

Gradually add the prepared dry ingredients into the butter mixture. Stir just until combined. Avoid overmixing at this stage to keep the cookies soft and tender rather than dense.

Step 5: Divide the Base Cookie Dough

Once your one cookie dough is ready, divide it evenly into four portions. This is where the magic happens and you transform one dough into four amazing cookie flavours.

Step 6: Create the Biscoff Stuffed Cookies

Fold crushed Biscoff cookies into one portion. Scoop dough, flatten slightly, place a frozen Biscoff spread ball in the centre, and seal carefully. Freezing the filling ensures a gooey centre without leaking during baking.

Step 7: Add Mix-Ins for Remaining Flavours

Now customize the remaining three portions. For the triple chocolate cookie, mix in cocoa powder and milk, then fold in white, milk, and dark chocolate chips. For the pistachio chocolate chip cookie, gently fold in crushed pistachios and chocolate chips. For the coffee caramel cookie, mix in coffee powder and carefully fold in caramel cubes and chocolate chips, ensuring the caramel is fully enclosed.

Step 8: Prepare the Pistachio Chocolate Chip Dough

Gently fold crushed pistachios and chocolate chips into the third portion. This combination adds crunch and a beautiful nutty contrast to the soft cookie base.

Step 9: Mix the Coffee Caramel Dough

In the final portion, mix in coffee powder for depth of flavour. Then fold in caramel cubes and chocolate chips. Ensure caramel pieces are fully enclosed to prevent leaking.

Step 10: Shape the Cookies

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Scoop equal portions of each flavour onto a lined baking tray, leaving space between them for spreading.

Step 11: Bake for Perfect Texture

Bake for 9–10 minutes, until the edges are set but the centres still look slightly soft. For bakery style cookies, slightly underbaking is key to achieving a chewy interior.

Step 12: Cool and Set

Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This helps them firm up while keeping the centres soft and indulgent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use any other add-ins in this cookie dough?
Yes, absolutely. This one cookie dough different flavors concept is very versatile. You can add walnuts, extra chocolate chips, cookies and cream pieces, peanut butter chips, Nutella centres, white chocolate and raspberry, or even dried fruits. The possibilities are endless. If you need more flavour ideas, just ask.

Why did my cookies spread too much?
This usually happens if the butter was too melted, the dough was too warm, or flour was undermeasured. Chilling the dough briefly and measuring ingredients accurately helps maintain structure.

Why are my cookies dry or cakey?
Dry cookies are often caused by adding too much flour or overbaking. Always use gram measurements when possible and slightly underbake for soft, fudgy centres.

Can I prepare the dough in advance?
Yes. The base cookie dough can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 48 hours. In fact, resting the dough enhances flavor and improves texture.

How do I keep the caramel from leaking out?
Make sure the caramel cubes are fully enclosed in dough and avoid placing them too close to the surface. Slightly chilling the shaped cookie dough balls also helps.
