SPEKULATIUS 1 (CINNAMON, ALMOND & GINGER BUTTER COOKIES)
Spekulatius is a wonderful highly spiced German Christmas cookie. It's very thin (approx 1/8 inch). Buttery and crumbly crisp. Reminiscent of gingerbread but actually I think rather more refined and usually has a few flaked almonds across the top although I have also seen them with glace cherries or both. I'm searching online for a good recipe and this is one of the ones that I've come across that looks like it should give the correct taste and result - although I haven't baked it yet due to time restrictions. As with many cookies it seems that it is important to keep the dough cool during kneading. Note that the almond flakes on the top should not be broken up. The resulting cookie should be very hard and wonderfully butter-crispy.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 Fahrenheit (200 Centigrade / Gas Mark 6).
- Grease a baking sheet.
- Mix the flour and Baking powder together in a bowl.
- Make a well in the middle and put in the egg, sugar and spices and slowly work it all into a thick dough.
- Cut the cold butter into pieces and together with the ground almonds put on top of dough.
- Cover it all with a little more flour and knead it well to form a smooth dough. Note: If the dough is too sticky or gets warm, cool it a little in the refrigerator.
- Some recipes call for the dough to be left to rest for an hour in the refrigerator at this point.
- Roll out the dough nice and thin (they *are supposed* to be about 1/8th inch thick). If using flaked almonds on the top, sprinkle a few over the dough and pat into it very lightly.
- Cut out the cookies with Christmas Cookiecutters.
- Put Cookies onto greased baking sheet.
- Bake at 400F / 200C (Gas Mk 6) on the top slot in the Oven for about 15 minutes.
- Normally cut into Christmas tree, people, partridge and gift parcel shapes.
- Lightly Adapted From recipe posted by : Brigitte Sealing, Cyberealm BBS, Watertown, NY 315-786-1120.
- These are known as Speculaas or Speculoos in Belgium and the Belgians claim to have invented them :) Some German recipes call for ground hazelnuts rather than ground almonds but Belgian recipes don't. I've had them with hazelnuts in and they're very nice, so given the price of ground almonds -- :).

SPECULAAS
Here is a recipe for the St. Nicholas Day treat (also called speculoos or Dutch windmill cookies) enjoyed in Belgium and the Netherlands. They are traditionally molded into the shape of windmills, but these crisp, almond-y spice cookies will turn out well if you roll out the dough and cut out any shape you like. This version is an adaptation of one found in Anita Chu's book, "Field Guide to Cookies: How to Identify and Bake Virtually Every Cookie Imaginable."

SPECULAAS COOKIES
When imprinting the fragrant spiced cookie dough with springerle molds, stop frequently to clean the patterns with the tip of a skewer. This allows for a better impression in the dough and resulting cookie.

Steps:
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, mace, white pepper, and cloves in a large bowl.
- Cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in half the flour mixture. Beat in water, then remaining flour mixture. Shape into 3 disks. Pat each to a 1-inch thickness, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Dust surface and springerle mold lightly with confectioners' sugar. Roll out dough to a 1/4- to 3/8-inch thickness (deeper molds will need thicker dough). Cut a piece of dough about the size of the mold. Press mold firmly into dough, flip over, and gently roll over dough with a rolling pin. Flip over, and press onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a knife, trim excess dough. Gently coax dough out of mold with fingertips and onto a baking sheet. Repeat, spacing cookies 1 inch apart, and placing same-size cookies on same sheet. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place 1 sheet of cookies in oven, and immediately reduce temperature to 250. Bake, 1 sheet at a time, until cookies are set and just beginning to turn light gold around edges, 55 to 65 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks.
