Schär Cinnamon Soft Cookies Multipack Biscuits, 6 x 35g 210g
Softness is the format free-from baking gets away with most easily. A gluten-free crumb goes dry and sandy long before a wheat one does, and a soft bake does not put that under the spotlight the way a snapping biscuit would. Cinnamon is the sensible spice for it: aromatic rather than sharp, so it fills the mouth and carries the bake rather than sitting on top of it. Six sealed 35g portions, which is a serving size rather than a supply. Schar bake to a gluten-free recipe, but the dietary statement and full allergen list are printed on the current box and that is what a coeliac household reads.
Schär Cinnamon Soft Cookies Multipack Biscuits, in brief.
Schär Cinnamon Soft Cookies are a soft-baked spiced cookie from the free-from specialist, sold as six sealed 35g portions, 210g to the box. Warm cinnamon, a soft bending crumb rather than a snap, and closer to a small cake than to a tea biscuit.
Brew a plain black tea rather than a spiced chai, leave the sugar out, and do not dunk it.
Schär Cinnamon Soft Cookies are a soft-baked cinnamon cookie sold as a multipack of six sealed 35g portions, 210g to the box. Schär is a specialist free-from bakery, and this is one of the few soft-baked cookies on our shelf rather than a crisp biscuit.

The Story Behind The Pack
Schär is a free-from specialist rather than a general biscuit maker that happens to run a free-from line, and that is the useful thing to know about the brand. It is heritage and brand identity rather than a claim about what is in this box or where it was baked; for that, read the current UK pack.
Baking without wheat is mostly a structural problem rather than a flavour one. Wheat gluten is what normally gives a dough its stretch and holds a crumb together, and a free-from bake has to get that structure from other starches and binders instead. Crisp biscuits are the harder case, because a brittle snap depends on a rigid structure that breaks cleanly; soft-baked cookies are the kinder format, since a soft, slightly chewy crumb is easier to build without gluten and is also where free-from bakes are least likely to give themselves away. That is why a soft cookie is often the better free-from choice, and why this one is worth a look even if nobody in the house needs it.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.
Our Commitment To The Planet
- The box you receive is the current UK retail pack, rather than an import made to a different recipe for another market.
- Six individual wrappers add material, and we would rather say so than dress it up. What they buy here is real: a soft bake loses moisture to the air faster than a crisp biscuit does, and a sealed portion is still soft at the end of the box rather than dry by the third day.
Serving Notes For Schär Cinnamon Soft Cookies, 6 x 35g
- Water temperature: Full boil for black tea; around 95 degrees for a rooibos.
- Measure: One bag per 200ml, one sealed portion a person.
- Steep: Three to four minutes. Medium; you are giving the spice a background, not fighting it.
- Service: Milk optional, sugar no.
- Dunk: No. This is a soft bake and it has no structure to spare.
- Storage: Cool and dry, and leave the portions sealed until you want them. A soft cookie dries out in open air rather than going soft, which is the opposite failure to a crisp biscuit.
- Best with: A plain strong black tea, a black coffee, or a rooibos. Avoid a spiced chai, which puts cinnamon on cinnamon.

The taste profile
How does it compare
Cinnamon and black tea share a good deal of ground, which makes the pairing easy and also makes it easy to overdo. A spiced chai puts cinnamon next to cinnamon and the two flatten each other out; a plain strong black tea gives the spice somewhere to stand. The two builds below take the point in opposite directions.
The Everyday Mug
The Warm Serve
Made with this tea
The Everyday Mug
How to make The Everyday Mug with Schär Cinnamon Soft Cookies.
- 1 bag plain black tea
- 200ml water at a full boil
- 1 sealed 35g portion
- A splash of milk, optional
- Brew one bag in 200ml straight off the boil for three to four minutes. Plain black tea, not a spiced chai.
- Leave the sugar out. The cookie is supplying the sweetness and a sweet cup turns the pairing cloying.
- Open the portion only when the tea is poured; the cinnamon aroma is at its strongest in the first minute.
- Do not dunk. There is no structure here to hold.
The Warm Serve
How to make The Warm Serve with Schär Cinnamon Soft Cookies.
- 1 sealed 35g portion
- A low oven or a dry pan
- 1 cup of black coffee
- Warm the cookie for ten to fifteen seconds in a low oven or a warm dry pan. Not the microwave, which drives moisture out unevenly and leaves a tough edge.
- Rest it for a minute. A warm soft bake firms very slightly as it cools and eats better for it.
- Pour a black coffee, which carries spice better than most people expect.
- Eat while the aroma is still lifting off it.
What you'll end up with: The same cookie with the cinnamon turned up, for fifteen seconds of effort.
The Rooibos Evening
How to make The Rooibos Evening with Schär Cinnamon Soft Cookies.
- 1 bag rooibos
- 200ml water at about 95 degrees
- 1 sealed 35g portion
- Steep the rooibos for five to six minutes. It does not turn bitter with time, so err long rather than short.
- Serve it without milk if you want the spice clear, or with a splash if you want the whole thing softer.
- Eat the cookie alongside rather than dunked.
What you'll end up with: A caffeine-free pairing for late in the evening, where the rooibos sits under the cinnamon instead of arguing with it.
Crumbled Over Ice Cream
How to make Crumbled Over Ice Cream with Schär Cinnamon Soft Cookies.
- 2 sealed 35g portions
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
- A spoonful of honey, optional
- Crumble the cookies coarsely by hand. A soft bake will not crush to a dry crumb, so aim for pieces rather than powder.
- Scatter them over the ice cream just before serving, not in advance; the crumb softens quickly against something cold and wet.
- Trickle honey over if you want it, though the cookie is sweet enough without.
What you'll end up with: Cinnamon carries through cold better than most spices, so this works as well in summer as the warm serve does in winter.
The Lunchbox Portion
How to pack Schär Cinnamon Soft Cookies for a lunchbox.
- 1 sealed 35g portion
- A lunchbox or a desk drawer
- Pack the portion sealed. It needs no tub and will not crumble into the bottom of a bag.
- Keep it out of direct sun and away from a radiator; heat costs a soft bake its moisture.
- Open it at the table rather than early, since the aroma goes first.
What you'll end up with: A portion that arrives in the condition it left in, which is the whole argument for wrapping them one by one.
What’s in it, what to know
Inside the pack
| Ingredient | Proportion | What it brings |
|---|---|---|
| Soft-baked cookie | the whole portion | A soft, slightly chewy crumb rather than a crisp snap. Softness is what this format is for, and it is also the easier texture to build in a free-from bake. |
| Cinnamon | the headline note | Warm and aromatic rather than sharp. Its aroma compounds are volatile, which is why a few seconds of gentle heat lifts the spice noticeably before the first bite. |
| Sugar | fuller than a plain biscuit | A soft bake usually carries more sugar than a crisp one, because moisture and sweetness travel together in this style. The declaration is printed on the current UK pack. |
| Pack format | 6 x 35g | 210g to the box in six sealed portions. |
Pack: Schär Cinnamon Soft Cookies Multipack Biscuits, 6 x 35g 210g; a carton of six individually sealed soft-baked cinnamon cookie portions. Best before the date printed on the pack.
Sourcing & blend. Schär Cinnamon Soft Cookies are made by Schär, a specialist free-from bakery rather than a general biscuit maker running a free-from line. That is brand identity rather than a claim about what is in this box or where it was baked. The box you receive is the current UK retail pack rather than an import made to a different recipe for another market. The reading of a soft bake as the kinder format for baking without wheat, because a soft chewy crumb is easier to build than a brittle snap when there is no gluten to give structure, is general baking science and our own editorial assessment against the current pack format and the brand's published description.
What is in Schär Cinnamon Soft Cookies Multipack Biscuits, 6 x 35g 210g, and what is not:
- In: six individually sealed 35g portions of soft-baked cinnamon cookies, 210g in all, in one outer carton.
- Not a crisp biscuit: this bends before it breaks and eats closer to a small cake. That is a description of the format rather than a claim off the pack.
- Not a dunker: a soft bake has no rigid structure to lose, so it collapses in a hot mug almost immediately. Eat it dry, or warm it.
