How to Enjoy Leibniz Cookies: Simple Snack Ideas

I saw some posts about Leibniz cookies the other day, and it got me thinking, why not give it a shot myself? So, I rolled up my sleeves and decided to dive into the world of homemade Leibniz cookies.

First things first, I needed to gather some intel. What exactly are these cookies? I learned that the Leibniz-Keks is a German brand of biscuit produced by the Bahlsen food company since way back in 1891. Turns out, the name “Leibniz” comes from the philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Who knew, right? And the TET logo? It’s inspired by an Egyptian hieroglyph, showing a rising sun and a snake. Pretty cool background for a cookie, I must say.

Now, onto the baking part. I’m no master chef, but I enjoy trying out new things in the kitchen. I found a bunch of recipes online, mostly focusing on making crisp butter biscuits. I picked one that seemed simple enough, gathered all the ingredients, and got to work.

  • Mixing: I started by creaming together butter and sugar until it was all light and fluffy. It’s kind of therapeutic, you know?
  • Adding: Then, I mixed in the egg and a bit of vanilla extract. The smell was already making my kitchen feel cozy.
  • Combining: Next up, I gradually added the dry ingredients – flour, a pinch of salt, and some baking powder. I mixed it all until it formed a nice dough.
  • Chilling: The recipe said to chill the dough for a bit, so I wrapped it up and popped it in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
  • Shaping: After the chill time, I rolled out the dough and used a cookie cutter to get that classic Leibniz shape. Well, I tried my best, at least. They are not very good in shape.
  • Baking: Into the oven they went! I baked them for about 10-12 minutes until the edges were just starting to turn golden brown.

The Tasting

I pulled them out of the oven, let them cool for a bit (the hardest part, honestly), and then it was time for the taste test. They were crispy, buttery, and had just the right amount of sweetness. Not exactly like the store-bought ones, but pretty darn good for a first attempt. I dipped a few in melted chocolate, and wow, that took it to another level!

All in all, it was a fun little baking adventure. I might not have perfectly replicated the original Leibniz cookie, but I had a blast trying. Plus, there’s something so satisfying about eating something you made from scratch. I’ll definitely be experimenting more with this recipe. Maybe next time I’ll try adding some different flavors or toppings. Stay tuned for more baking experiments! Oh, and I will try to make a pudding cake slice using Leibniz cookies next time, just like what I saw online. That sounds delicious, doesn’t it?
