Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

Puff pastry
Provides the flaky, layered structure that crisps beautifully in the oven.

Lotus Biscoff spread
Adds warm, caramelized cookie flavor and creates the signature swirled filling.

Butter (optional)
Brushed on before baking to deepen color and enhance crispness.

Cinnamon sugar (optional)
Adds extra sweetness and texture if sprinkled over the twists.

Powdered sugar (optional)
Used for dusting once baked for an elegant finish.

Directions

Begin by thawing your puff pastry according to package directions. Lightly flour your work surface and roll the pastry into a smooth rectangle. Warm the Biscoff spread slightly until it becomes easy to spread without tearing the dough. Using a spatula, spread a generous, even layer over the entire pastry surface.

Fold the pastry in half lengthwise to enclose the Biscoff layer. Use a rolling pin to gently press the layers together. With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the folded sheet into even strips. Take each strip, twist it several times, and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each twist.

Brush lightly with melted butter or egg wash if desired. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top for added flavor and crunch. Bake until the twists are golden, crisp, and caramelized along the edges. Allow them to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar or serving warm.
