About Butterkeks

Butterkeks, also known as butter biscuits, are traditional German cookies made primarily from flour, butter, sugar, and eggs. Known for their crisp texture and buttery flavor, they are a popular snack enjoyed plain or paired with tea and coffee. Butterkeks typically contain refined flour and sugar, making them high in carbohydrates and relatively low in essential nutrients. While their simplicity and mild sweetness make them a comforting treat, they are not considered a health food due to their minimal fiber content and moderate fat levels from butter. However, their relatively small size allows portion control, making them an occasional indulgence rather than a frequent snack. Common in German cuisine, Butterkeks are a staple in homes and are also often used in baking recipes, such as bases for desserts like cheesecakes or layered puddings. Moderation is key to enjoying these classic biscuits alongside a balanced diet.
