Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 250 g AP Flour
- 1 tsp. Baking Powder
- 50 g Almond Flour or ground Almonds
- 120 g Sugar
- 8 g Spekulatius Spice
- 1 tsp. Cinnamon
- 100 g Butter

- 1 ct. Egg
Cream Filling
- 50 g Butter soft
- 100 g Confectioners Sugar
- 1 tbsp. Milk hot
- ¼ tsp. Vanilla Extract
Instructions
Make the Cookies
- Put all ingredients for the dough into a large mixing bowl and knead with a hand mixer or machine.
- Give it an additional knead by hand to really incorporate all ingredients into a dough.
- Wrap the dough and let it rest in the fridge for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Roll the dough out – not too thin though.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F.
- Cut the cookies with a cookie cutter and place them onto a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will be about 2 baking sheets.
- Bake for 10 minutes (second baking sheet a little shorter) and remove the cookies from the baking sheet immediately to cool.
Make the Creme Filling
- In a mixing bowl, whip the butter until really creamy.
- Add the confectioners’ sugar, milk and vanilla extract and mix well.
- Put the cream into a pastry bag and cut a hole into the end.
Assembling the Cookies
- Place half of the cookies with the bottom side up in front of you.
- With the pastry bag, give a good amount of cream onto each of these cookies.
- Put the other half of the cookies on top and press slightly down so the filling spreads to the rim.
- Keep the finished cookies in an air tight container.
Tip: If kept in the fridge, the cookies taste especially good!
