Spéculoos

Cultural Context

Originating from Belgium, spéculoos are traditional spiced cookies often enjoyed during the holiday season. These cookies are typically associated with St. Nicholas Day, where they are given as gifts. Today, spéculoos have gained international popularity, especially as a spread known as Biscoff, enjoyed with coffee or as a dessert topping.

1

In a bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and baking powder.

2

Make a well in the center and add softened butter, mixing slightly.

3

Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix until the texture resembles fine sand.

4

If not using a mixer, rub the flour and butter together by hand until sandy, like making a crumble.

5

Add milk and mix for a few seconds until the dough forms around the paddle and pulls away from the bowl.

6

Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 2 hours.

7

After resting, place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper and roll it out to about 4 mm thick.

8

Cut out cookies using cookie cutters of your choice.

9

Place the cookies on baking sheets lined with parchment paper and freeze for 30 minutes to prevent deformation during baking.

10

Preheat the oven to 180°C (approximately 350°F).

11

Bake for about 12 minutes until golden brown.

12

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets before transferring them to a plate.
