Ingrédients
200 g Butter
150 g White sugar
200 g Brown sugar
50 g Speculoos Paste
6 g Salt
10 g Baking powder
200 g Chocolate chips
400 g Flour
2 Eggs
Instructions
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, place the butter in pieces and the two sugars.
If you don’t have a food processor, in a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter (30 seconds in the microwave) with the sugar and mix with a spatula. Add the speculoos spread. - Once the sugars and butter are well mixed, add the eggs and mix. Add the salt, flour, and baking powder (speed 2 in the food processor, still using the paddle attachment).
- Add the chocolate chips, mix (at speed 1 with the paddle attachment in the food processor).
- Make balls of about 90g, and flatten to a thickness of 1.5cm.
- Bake for 12 minutes at 160°C.
Astuces
- Once out of the oven, they may seem undercooked, but once cooled, they will have the perfect texture. You can put your cookie dough balls in the freezer for 15 minutes, then bake them for a perfect crispy-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-inside result. To decorate the tops of your cookies, add a teaspoon of speculoos spread, some crushed speculoos cookies, and you’re done!
Achieving the perfect balance of crispy Speculoos cookies
The ideal solution is to combine the two! Incorporate Speculoos paste directly into your softened butter for flavor, and add biscuit crumbs at the end of mixing to retain the typical crunch of Speculoos.
As with Nutella, form small balls of Speculoos spread and freeze them for 30 minutes before enclosing them in your cookie dough. This guarantees a gooey center when they come out of the oven.
Yes, and it’s even recommended! Brown sugar has notes of caramel and cinnamon that perfectly recall the taste of the original Speculoos, thus enhancing the aroma of your cookies.
