Ok, good thing I’m here to enlighten you all about my favorite food: cookies
Biscoff cookies are a brand of Speculoos cookies that are made by the Lotus Bakeries company in Belgium. Speculoos is a wordplay on speculaas, which is a combination of spices, usually at least cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves, and sometimes coriander and kardemom. It’s a type of biscuit popular during the holiday season, from St. Nicholas to Xmas. And every kid wanted the windmill…
“-loos” means “-less”. Speculoos is the same cookie but spiceless, or more specifically, usually only cinnamon. In Belgian speculaas and speculoos is interchangeable, in NL not.
Would you.....spread it on a biscoff cookie?
No, I wouldn’t. Actually never had speculoos myself. It’s indeed more a kids thing.
(I guess to get picky kids to eat something…) it’s a classic thing in the low lands to put those cookies between two slices of white bread. A cookie sandwich. I honestly don’t know if people still do that but in the 80s they did. Not me, we didn’t have much but there was always cheese and chocolate sprinkels… besides… why add bread to a cookie when you can eat just the cookie… oo that’s true for cheese too.
Anyway, hence the spread variety, as a sort of alternative to peanut butter (very popular). So, it goes on a sandwich.
