Ingredients
- 250 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 150 grams Brown sugar
- 150 grams Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Speculaas spice mix (cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, cardamom, white pepper)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk (or dairy-free alternative)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and speculaas spice mix until well combined.
Step 2
Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the milk (or dairy-free alternative). Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
Step 4
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured (with gluten-free flour) surface and knead lightly until smooth. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 6
Roll out the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper to a thickness of about 3-4mm. Use cookie cutters or a speculaas mold to cut the dough into desired shapes.
Step 7
Transfer the shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2cm apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden and slightly firm to the touch.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve with coffee, tea, or hot cocoa, and enjoy your gluten-free speculaas cookies!
