24 Days of Spice | Day 16 - Speculoos Spice Blend (Copy)

Speculoos Spice Cookies come in many names based on the country, but it’s basically a delicious gingerbread without the molasses or a Biscoff that you get on Delta Airlines.

Speculoos can be made into a variety of shapes, like sugar cookies. I went the festive route and made reindeer!

As I looked for recipes, I found a lot of different, but similar recipes. Some called for all dark brown sugar, some called for a sugar mix, and some called for eggs. I went with a vegan and gluten-free recipe from Vegan Kitchen Magick for Speculaas Cookies.

The recipe was pretty easy and the rolling out method worked really well. I was short on time, so I just let the dough chill for an hour. The spices apparently mature the longer you let the dough rest.

I also chose not to ice the cookies. This seemed to be hit or miss across the recipes.
