How to Make Dutch Speculaas Cookies Contains Ground Almonds

  1. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in ½ teaspoon salt, 1 cup ground almonds, 1 large egg, and 3 tablespoons milk.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and the homemade speculaas spice blend (recipe below). Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the remaining milk (about 2-4 tablespoons) until a stiff dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly to ensure all the flour is incorporated. Form the dough into a ball.
  4. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 days).
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thickness. Use speculaas molds or cookie cutters to create your desired shapes.
  6. Arrange the cookies on ungreased baking sheets. Brush lightly with milk and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  7. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
