What is a Biscoff Cookie?
According to Lotus: ‘The story of Lotus Biscoff starts in 1932 in a local bakery in Lembeke, a Belgian town. The unique recipe was brought to perfection with carefully selected natural ingredients.

Are Biscoff Cookies Gluten Free?
NO
No, Lotus Biscoff Cookies, and generally, these types of cookies, are not gluten-free. They contain wheat flour. Individuals with Celiac Disease or Gluten/wheat allergies should avoid these cookies. Especially exercise caution on airplanes where these are commonly handed out.

Is Cookie Butter Gluten Free?
Generally no, it’s made from some form of crushed cookies or cookie dough that involves wheat/gluten in the original recipe. Unless you find a brand of cookie butter that is specifically gluten free, I would recommend being cautious. We previously wrote about Speculoos Cookie Butter from Trader Joe’s, a popular cookie butter product that is made from a similar, Biscoff style cookie. Biscoff also sells their own cookie butter products, but unfortunately these are not gluten free either.
