Every once in a while an ingredient takes the spotlight and it seems that every cooking magazine, cooking show, food blogger uses it.  And oohs and aahs about it. Smoked paprika had its turn.  Macha powder.  Farro. Chia seeds. And then, there’s Biscoff.  One of the reasons it took me a while to join this crowd was the realization that I would be powerless once that jar was open. As I mentioned in the past, Delta Airline cookies make me lose all my composure.  And Biscoff, dear friends, is a Delta cookie in spreadable form.  My knees go weak, my mind goes wild.  Please make these cookies.  They will use half a cup of the addictive spread, so you’ll have a little less left to tempt you every time you pass by your pantry. And if my own post doesn’t convince you to bring a jar of the spread home, click here to see what Jessica had to say about it over at Feastie.

Heads Up:  Cookie dough must be refrigerated for 3o minutes before baking!
