Speculaas - Dutch cookies image

These are very popular spice cookies in Holland, especially for Sinterklaas (St. Nicholas Day, December 5). The sweet spice flavor is wonderful. The prep time includes refrigerating the dough overnight.

Yield 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/4 cups butter
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 cup slivered almonds
3/4 teaspoon ginger

These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

I had a hard time getting the dough to the right consistency. It was too sticky at first, and then it became too dry. I think I need to practice more.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
