Speculoos A Flemish Spice Cookie

I could not believe that there wasn't a recipe for speculoos on the zaar. did a search while i was crunching down on a couple of them - the others i saved to dunk into my coffee. to my mind, there is no better cookie to enjoy with a cup of (very good) coffee. thin, crunchy, spicy. they are perfection. be sure to roll the dough out very thin (i'd say about 1/8th of an inch. adapted from a recipe found on epicurious (i like my speculoos spicier).

Steps

Set aside.

Cream brown sugar and butter together in a large bowl.

Add the egg and beat until fluffy.

Add the dry ingredients gradually and mix until combined.

Divide the dough in two halves.

Flatten each half and wrap with plastic wrap.

Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Lightly flour a work surface and your rolling pin.

Roll out each dough piece until very thin.

Cut cookies with a cookie cutter , roll out remaining dough and cut again.

Repeat with the second dough piece.

Put cookies on the baking sheets and bake until the edges start to darken , about 8 minutes.
