While it may not be Rome or Paris, Amsterdam has its fair share of delicious food that makes it a must-visit destination for foodies. You can't go to Amsterdam and not try the stroopwafel, poffeterjes, and of course, the herring. But there is one particular food that has gone wildly viral on TikTok that has travelers and locals alike waiting in long lines.
Believe it or not, it's a cookie.
This particular cookie is sold in a cookie shop known as Van Stapele Koekmakerij. Located in Rokin 17, this cookie shop isn't all that big and can be pretty easy to miss. However, what is hard to miss is the long line of curious, excited customers waiting to get their chance to order this famous cookie.
