Speculoos cookies are synonymous with Belgian holidays, particularly around St. Nicholas Day in December.
These thin, crispy cookies are flavoured with a blend of warm spices; cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger, which fill the air with a nostalgic aroma.
Traditionally, speculoos were shaped into intricate designs, often depicting religious or historical figures.
Their crunchy texture and spiced flavour make them perfect for dunking in coffee or tea. Today, speculoos is not only enjoyed as a cookie but also in spreads, ice creams, and desserts.
