Also known as a windmill cookies when you browse the cookie aisle at the store . Speculaas was my mom all time favorite cookie , we always bought this speculaas at the store , prepackaged , and she always said that this was her favorite . Years later , i found the recipe on a cookbook , and i was so thrill , and i wish that my mom were still alive , that she would been so happy that we could have baked these cookies together !!<\/p>\n

I don’t really sure why they call it windmill cookies , probably because it’s from the Netherlands , and they’re famous with their windmill . But my cookies aren’t going to be in a windmill shape , because i don’t own any windmill cutter . From so many cookie cutter that i have from trains , bunnies , to bats and ghosts and palm trees , amazingly , i do not have windmill cutter !! So , i settle with just cutting them with my gingerbread cutter . People will think it’s gingerbread cookies, but they’re not . The recipe doesn’t make that many cookies , i always doubled this recipe just because i love them so much and i want to make sure i have enough and , hey , it’s a lot of work , making cutout cookies like this .. so if you have to , you might as well do it where you have plenty cookies to share !<\/p>\n
