Ingredients
  • 250 g all-purpose flour
  • 150 g unsalted butter (softened)
  • 150 g light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (ground)
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg (ground)
  • 1/4 tsp cloves (ground)
  • 1/4 tsp ginger (ground)
  • 1 pinch salt
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. 2
    Cream together the softened butter and brown sugar in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
  3. 3
    Add the egg to the butter-sugar mixture and beat well until fully incorporated.
  4. 4
    In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and salt.
  5. 5
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a smooth dough forms. You can use a spatula or your hands for this step.
  6. 6
    Divide the dough into two equal parts. Flatten each part into a disk, wrap them in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  7. 7
    Roll out each disk of dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 5mm (1/4 inch).
  8. 8
    Cut out shapes using speculoos molds or cookie cutters. Traditional shapes include windmills, St. Nicholas figures, or simple rounds.
  9. 9
    Place the shaped cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between each cookie.
  10. 10
    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
  11. 11
    Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Enjoy your homemade Belgian speculoos with a cup of coffee or tea. Bon Appetit!
