My version of the Speculaas. A 2023 recipe.

Why you should make this: it's crackled and crispy outside and chewy moist inside. It is as good as your favorite ginger spice cookies from Europe. I used powdered Mace since that's what I have instead of nutmeg. These are hand size cookies, at least 3" in diameter because I used a 1/4 measuring cup . You can make it smaller using a 1/8 cup scoop or 1 oz. 

Ingredients:

1 c butter

 
1 c dark brown sugar
1/2 c white sugar
1 large egg
1 egg yolk

2-1/3 c All purpose flour
1 t table salt
1/4 t b powder
1 t b soda
5 t ginger powder
1/4 t cinnamon powder
1/4 t granulated cloves
1/4 t cardamom powder
1/4 t powdered black pepper
1/4 t powdered Mace

1/2 c sanding sugar

Procedure:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line your cookie trays with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, melt and brown the butter on medium low heat. 
3. Set aside to cool completely at room temperature.
4. Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl except sugars.
5. Pour cooled melted butter on the dry ingredients and stir.
6. Combine well. Use your fingers if you wish. 
7. Using a 1/4 measuring cup, scoop and compact batter then tap on the prepared cookie tray 2" apart. 
8. Repeat process until all the batter are on the tray. You can also save some batter, keep refrigerated and bake at another time.
9. Sprinkle with sanding sugar before baking for 12 minutes.
10. Transfer on a cooling rack to cool.
