They are ideal biscuits for the autumn and winter's gloomy weather. They lift your mood and brighten even the cloudiest day. When they appear in shops, many people go hunting immediately. The homemade version is simple to prepare and even tastier than the original.

Lotus Biscoff cookies have been a real hit in recent years, capturing the hearts of sweet lovers worldwide. Their unique taste and crunchy texture make them incredibly addictive. Some use them in cheesecakes, others add them to cakes, but most people simply munch on them with their afternoon coffee or tea.

When they hit the shops, many people rush to buy them. However, you can make them at home instead of constantly searching for them on the shelves. The ingredients are easily accessible, and the cookies are so delicious that you can't stop at just one.

How do you make Lotus cookies? It's not particularly difficult or complicated. You just need to combine three ingredients and have a bit of patience while they bake.

You can further enhance them by adding a teaspoon of "speculoos" spice mix, which you can prepare by combining 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves. You can buy almond flour ready-made or finely grind almonds at home.
