Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups flour
3/4 loving cup nighttime brownish or nighttime Candi sugar
1/2 loving cup butter, at room temperature
1 egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon solid soil cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon solid soil ginger
1/2 teaspoon solid soil cloves
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly solid soil dark pepper
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon allspice

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Whisk together the dry out (except sugar) ingredients inward a medium bowl. Set aside. Cream together the saccharide as well as butter. Beat inward the egg. Slowly mix inward the dry out ingredients until good combined. It volition last rather thick. Roll out on a construct clean surface to a piddling less than 1/4 inch thick. Use speculoos molds to press into shapes, a speculoos pan, operate cookie cutters or precisely cutting into squares. Alternatively, press into a cookie canvas amongst shaped cavities. Bake for fifteen minutes or until the cookies are browned but even hence slightly soft inward the center. Cool on wire racks.

My thoughts:
When nosotros were inward Belgium, nosotros knew nosotros had to banking concern represent out what is perchance Belgium's favorite cookie, speculoos. Speculoos is a crisp, spice cookie somewhat similar to gingerbread. When I refer speculoos to anyone locally I am ordinarily met amongst a blank stare but they genuinely are available hither nether a unlike name; if yous bring always had a packaged Biscoff cookie, they are genuinely speculoos packaged for the non Belgian population past times a Belgian company.

Especially when nosotros were inward Bruges, speculoos cookies were at every bakery as well as precisely about specialty baking shops that traditional speculoos molds to brand the cookies at home. There was fifty-fifty speculoos spread (think Nutella but made amongst cookies!) inward both chunky as well as smoothen textures at every grocery store. We brought dorsum a yoke of cookie molds, a appall of the spread, precisely about of the special sugar they operate inward the cookies as well as precisely about speculoos from a bakery inward Bruges hence I could orally deduce the ingredients. H5N1 Federal Reserve notation nigh the sugar:  yous tin operate regular nighttime brownish saccharide but every bit nosotros learned upon arriving home, Candi saccharide is used inward abode beer making hence it is genuinely fairly slow to locate online or inward brew shops. It it is a piddling moister as well as darker than the brownish sugars sold hither inward the US.

Traditionally, speculoos is to a greater extent than of a Christmas or St. Nicholas Day process but well, nosotros are trapped hither inward a blizzard inward Baltimore as well as I mean value that is every bit skilful excuse every bit any. For these cookies, I used our speculoos molds as well as this Wilton 12 cavity cookie pan (which is the closest affair to a speculoos molded cookie canvas that I've seen hither inward the US) but yous could but cutting them into squares, rounds or operate a cookie cutter inward whatever variety you'd like.
