In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter and cookie butter. Mix at medium speed for 3-5 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Use a silicone spatula to scrape the sides and base of the bowl.
Add the entire can of sweetened condensed milk to the whipped butter mixture. Mix at medium speed for 1-2 minutes or until fully incorporated.
Crush the Biscoff cookies into a fine crumb using a stick blender or food processor. Ensure the crumbs are fine to prevent clogging the piping tip.
Add the cookie crumbs to the buttercream and mix for another minute until they are well blended and distributed throughout the buttercream.
Scrape the sides and base of the bowl. Mix the buttercream with a silicone spatula for about a minute to remove air bubbles. Alternatively, you can use the lowest speed on the hand mixer for this step.
Your buttercream is now ready for piping. It works exceptionally well with a 1M piping tip for decorating cupcakes and creating buttercream borders around cakes, offering excellent pattern definition.
