Spekulaas



Christmas in Belgium calls for these fragrant, spicy, crunchy cookies.


Ingredients:
  • 110 g butter 
  • 150 g brown sugar (variation for my grandfather = sugarfree uses 75gr stevia + 75gr of oat flour and 2 teaspoon of lemon juice) 
  • 50 ml milk 
  • 250 g flour 
  • 10 g baking powder 

Original grounded spice mix for speculaas: 
  • 10 g ground cinnamon 
  • 5 g ground nutmeg 
  • 5 g ground cloves 
  • 5 g ground ginger 
  • 2 g ground white pepper

Mix the solids, dissolve the liquids and join them together under the rule of five.😉
Let the dough cool for a while in the fridge and spread the dough in 3mm thickness.

Cut the dough in nice looking forms and put it in the oven at 180C.
Or in the case that you don't really feel like losing the time decorating use a ice-cream scoop dispenser


 and once you have your uniform scoops of dough press them down with a spoon's back.



and you will end up with rustic uniform cookies.
