Flavor Question

[dennism]

Is biscuit flavor just a less sweet version of sugar cookie?

I use it in a Scottish shortbread recipe at 1.5% with sugar cookie at 4%. It helps give the cookie a vanilla butter flavor that mimics those Dansk butter cookies. I've seen where others have said it has a vanilla wafer flavor.

It can also be useful for cereal recipes or in pie crusts.

Where are you wanting to use it?

I have a few recipes that call for sugar cookie, which I don't have right now, I was wondering if I could sub the biscuit for sugar cookie.

I think you could. It might be less sweet than a sugar cookie, but you may like the effect. Or, if you don't maybe add a touch of sweetener if it's not to your liking after steeping? IDK.

I find INW-Biscuit to be very comparable to the classic Lorna Dune shortbread cookies:

I don't find it as sweet as a typical sugar cookie... more buttery than sweet.

I think Biscuit subs just fine for Sugar Cookie (I usually start with a 1:1 sub; and adjust as needed). Keep in mind it does change the profile a bit (it won't be exactly the same). Besides being more rich/buttery; it does add some dryness to the mix that Sugar Cookie does not. I think(?) this is why you often see both Sugar cookie and Biscuit used together.

Thanks for the replies and the biscuit being less sweet is a plus for me.

I saw where it might help with the sore throat issues, sugar cookie is really sweet.
