I think that this is the answer. I've seen FAs tell other FC passengers when inquiring about Biscoff cookies that "Sorry, this is what they give us" and they did not offer to get some Biscoffs from the back. On other flights I've seen the FA go to the back for cookies to supplement the snack basket prior to beginning their service.
