Speculoos Cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cup Soft brown sugar
  • 1 cup Softened unsalted butter
  • 2 Large egg yolks
  • 3 tbsp Heavy cream
  • 1 cup Almond flour
  • 3 1/4 cup Plain flour
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp Ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp Ground anise seed
  • 1/4 tsp Ground cardamom

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180c.
  • Beat the soft brown sugar, butter, egg yolks, cream in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or use an electric mixer for 5 mins until it’s pale.
  • Add the almond flour and mix until combined.
  • In a separate bowl combine the flour, salt and spices. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mixture while slowly beating.
  • Form the dough into a ball, wrap tightly with cling film and let it rest in a cool place for at least 5 hours.
  • Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface to a thickness of about 4mm. (I used a molded rolling pin with cat print.) Cut them into small rectangles and place them on a non-stick baking sheet. Chill the cut cookies for another hour before baking.
  • Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until nicely browned. Let cool before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
