What is an Airline Cookie Sheet Cake?

For years on many major airlines, passengers were given a package of cookies made by the Biscoff brand, reported Conde Nast Traveler.
Also known as speculoos or “windmill cookies,” they’re a type of spiced shortbread typically made with ingredients such as ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and cardamom. They are closely associated with the chilly weather and Christmas holidays.
The name of the cake hints at the flavors inside, which mimic those of the beloved cookie.
