Biscoff No-Bake Cookies

The first time I rode on an airplane I was 5 years old (mid-1980's). We were traveling from Ohio to California for Christmas; a long flight for an average kid but I held my own. I remember the stewardess complimenting my good behavior and promising to give me a treat before the flight ended... And that's when I discovered Biscoff cookies - semi-sweet, caramelized biscuits. When the stewardess gave me a small package, I said my please and thank you's and gobbled down the two cookies she gave me in hopes that my mom would add these to her future grocery list.

My mother (and I) didn't know that Biscoff was known as the "airline" cookie in the United States in 1985, and that it was pretty hard to find them in the local grocery stores. In fact, I don't remember my mother ever finding these delightful cookies when I was a child. It wasn't until a year a go via a Facebook friend that I saw my long lost, favorite cookie in a brand new form - Biscoff spread.

I went on the hunt for the spread, and found it at a local chain grocery store in the peanut butter isle - Came home with a jar, grabbed a spoonful and smiled joyfully. The spread tasted exactly like the cookie I remembered having nearly 30 years ago. I immediately logged on to Pinterest to see if anyone had come up with a good recipe, and found Cooking Classy's Biscoff No-Bakes!

The one thing I learned from making this recipe is to follow the measurements exactly as listed. Making no bakes is similar to making candy - accurate measurements is key!
