Frequently Asked Questions About Leibniz biscuit
Where does Leibniz biscuit come from?
Leibniz biscuit comes from Germany and is a Bahlsen product. Bahlsen introduced the biscuit in the late 19th century; the brand is German, though the manufacturing location can vary by product and market.
Why does Leibniz biscuit have 52 notches?
The 52 notches are a distinctive feature of Leibniz biscuit’s classic shape. People sometimes say they represent the weeks of the year, but that explanation is not confirmed as the official reason for the design.
Is Leibniz biscuit the same as shortbread?
No. Leibniz biscuit is a crisp, relatively firm butter biscuit, while shortbread is usually richer and more crumbly, with a higher proportion of butter. They can both be buttery, but they have different textures and recipes.
Is butter used in every Leibniz biscuit?
No, not every Leibniz biscuit variety has the same ingredients. The classic Original is known as a butter biscuit, but chocolate-coated, wholegrain and other varieties can differ, so check the ingredients for the specific product.
Can you use Leibniz biscuit for a cheesecake crust?
Yes, crushed Leibniz biscuit works well as a cheesecake base. Mix the crumbs with melted butter, press them into the pan and chill or bake as your recipe directs; its sweetness may mean you can use less added sugar.
What varieties of Leibniz biscuit are available?
Alongside the classic butter biscuit, Leibniz biscuit ranges can include chocolate-coated, wholegrain, mini and animal-shaped versions. Availability differs between countries, so the range in one shop may not match the range elsewhere.
How should you store Leibniz biscuit after opening?
Store opened Leibniz biscuit in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Keeping moisture out helps it stay crisp; leaving the packet loosely folded can make the biscuits soften and lose their fresh texture.
Can you dunk Leibniz biscuit in tea or coffee?
Yes, Leibniz biscuit can be dunked briefly in tea or coffee. Its crisp texture softens quickly in a hot drink, so a short dip is less likely to make it break apart.
Can you use Leibniz biscuit in a biscuit cake?
Yes, Leibniz biscuit can be layered into a no-bake biscuit cake or broken into a crumb base. Its firm, crisp texture holds up well with cream or chocolate, though it softens as it absorbs moisture.
What is the difference between Leibniz Original and Leibniz Choco?
Leibniz Original is the plain classic butter biscuit, while Leibniz Choco has a chocolate coating on one side. The coating makes Choco sweeter and richer, and the two varieties may have different ingredient lists.

What is Leibniz biscuit?
Originating in Germany, the Leibniz biscuit is a crisp, lightly sweet wheat biscuit with a buttery flavour. Its familiar ridged shape and plain taste make it easy to eat on its own or pair with a hot drink. In Germany it is a classic packaged snack; English-speaking readers may also enjoy it with tea or coffee, or crumble it over yoghurt for a simple dessert.
It is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with some fat and relatively little protein or fibre, so it is better thought of as a snack than a filling meal. For a more balanced bite, serve a few biscuits with fresh fruit or yoghurt rather than eating them alone.
