Belgian Spice Cookies (Speculoos)
LA COCINA DE BABEL
Description
Speculoos are spiced cookies that usually show up in most markets and bakeries in December in Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands. Bring all the flavor of a continental European Christmas to your kitchen with this recipe for the Belgian variation of speculoos. You can buy speculoos spice for these cookies or you can make your own with ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, and white pepper. Crunchy, spicy, and sweet, these cookies beg for a cup of milk or tea to dip them in.
Ingredients
- 200 grams self raising flour
- 125 grams brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp. spices (speculoos, or mixed spice)
- 1 pinch salt
- 150 grams butter (cold, cut in pieces)
- 2 Tbsp. cold milk
Directions
- In a food processor add the flour, sugar, salt, spices, and butter. Blend until grainy.
- Add the milk, a little at a time, with the machine on, until the mixture forms a dough ball.
- If not using a food processor, place all the solid ingredients in a large bowl and then add the butter. Mix with the fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the milk gradually and bind together to form a dough ball.
