Today i went for gevuld speculaas. This is almond spice between two layers of speculaas. Speculaas is a spiced cookie dough. It might seem a bit like ginger biscuit, but there are more spices in it: pepper, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, cardamom and nutmeg.

I went for the filled with almond paste version. One my alltime favourite cookie.

The almond past goes on top of the first layer of speculaas. On top is the final speculaas. Yummy!
