Peut on trouver des speculoos ici aux USA??? Peut on remplacer lhuile essentielle de cannelle par de la cannelle en poudre??

Speculoos look like the cookies which are very popular in Japan! We love European food. Thank-you for this recipe!

Please tell us what is in “four spices.” Oh, I bet you mean “quattre epices.” For anyone who doesn’t know, that is ginger, nutmeg, white pepper and cloves — is that right? I can’t spell in French or speak it, so I may have spelled something wrong …

I lived near Trier Germany for four years and fell in love with these cookies. Where I live, I can only get them around the holidays but now I can make my own year round, thanks.

Oh, I am absolutely crazy about cinnamon! These look sooooo good! It looks like there are slivered almonds in your cookies…did you also add slivered almonds to the batter? Love nuts in my cookies, so just curious. Thanks for a great recipe!

I love Spekulatius, which is a German speculoos involving cookie, but these look absolutely wonderful as well. Great recipe! I wish speculoos were easier to come by over here in the States, though.

How fabulous! I absolutely love speculoos. I’ve visited Belgium two times (my third coming up this January) and each time my husband and I bring home a big box from the grocery store and try to make it last as long as possible. I tried making them once myself from a Belgian cookbook I have, but I look forward to giving your recipe a whirl. I will add that the flavor is catching on here in the U.S., in NY there is a Wafel truck making traditional Liege waffles and they top it with speculoos spread. Everyone loves it.

I want to try these ASAP. I’ve never baked them either but I love cinnamon and spices. Thank you for sharing, sweet friend! I hope you are having a Happy Halloween. Thank you for making mine a bit sweeter (now I just need to get some candy!) Much love from Austin.

J’ai aussi fait des spéculoos la semaine dernière. Je me suis personnellement attardée à la recette de Christophe Felder, j’ai bien aimé. J’adore ces biscuits, ils sont parfaits. J’aime beaucoup ta version!
