Honey Speculaas

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   Tip: Make sure to use a parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and confectioner's sugar until light and fluffy.

   Tip: This step will help to bring out the sweetness in the cookies.

3. 3

   Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, honey, eggs, and salt to the bowl. Mix until well combined.

   Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well incorporated.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, speculaas spice blend, and salt.

5. 5

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

   Tip: The dough should be slightly sticky, but not too wet.

6. 6

   Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

   Tip: This will help the cookies to retain their shape and texture.

7. 7

   On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.

   Tip: Make sure to roll the dough evenly to ensure consistent cookies.

8. 8

   Cut out the cookies using a cookie cutter or a glass.

   Tip: You can also use a knife to cut out the cookies if you don't have a cookie cutter.

9. 9

   Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

   Tip: Make sure to leave enough space for the cookies to spread a little.

10. 10

    Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

    Tip: Keep an eye on the cookies while they're baking, as they can go from golden to burnt quickly.

11. 11

    Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.

    Tip: This will help the cookies to set and become crisper.
