FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT CANNOT BUY BISCOFF COOKIES IN YOUR AREA, YOU COULD ALWAYS BAKE “SPECULAAS” FROM THE BAKED COOKBOOK….SIMILAR TO A THIN, SUGAR TOPPED GINGERBREAD COOKIE! ♥
Speculoos Cookies (like Biscoff)
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1/8 tsp of cloves
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- sanding sugar for dusting
Preheat oven to 350 and line baking sheet with parchment paper. Cream the butter and sugars together until very light in color. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Separately mix the dry ingredients together with a whisk. Add to creamed butter mixture. Roll out dough on a floured surface (about 1/4 inch thick). Cut into small cookies, dust with sugar. Bake for about 12-15 minutes. You want them to be firm and brown. Move cookies to a cooling rack to crisp up.
note: for personal preference, I used the cinnamon but omitted the cloves, ginger & nutmeg
