Dutch Speculaas (Copy Cat Voortman Cookies)

It is Christmas…. Well Christmas time, same thing, it’s exciting. I grew up in a Dutch influence town and the one thing I loved growing up were Dutch Speculaas or Voortman Cookies, they are like gingerbread cookies but better. I cant even explain it, but no worries here is photo. And as always lets get to it.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 butter, room temp.
  • I use smart balance vegan butter but whatever butter works for you
• 2 cups flour
• 1 egg white
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • okay So for getting all your spices and ingredients I would defiantly look into a local spice store and get to know your community, but you can also look online at Thrive Market I just love it because I can shop vegan and vegetarian super easily.
• 3/8 tsp. ground cloves
• 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp. allspice
• 1/4 tsp. ginger

Now Lets Get Bakin’:

1. First you are going to cream together your butter and sugar.
2. Slowly mix in the rest of your ingredients SANS Flour.
3. Finally slowly stir in the flour
4. Let chill for 1 hour. Kind of like peanut butter cookie dough.
5. Roll out, and cut into shapes.
6. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 10-12 minutes
7. Cool. Serve. and Enjoy!
