Speculaas is a cookie that is mostly eaten in the Netherlands and Belgium as well as some other parts of Europe. In the Netherlands we eat it around November/ beginning of December due to a local celebration called Sinterklaas. This cookie tastes of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and other winter-like flavors.

We posted a ginger bread buttons recipe last year, the taste is somewhat similar to that recipe. You can check it out here.
