Speculoos Cookies

December 19, 2011 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 5 Comments

Hi and Happy Monday,

Well this is it last week before Christmas!  I can’t believe it is on Sunday!  Crazy how time goes by so fast.  I am officially done with Christmas shopping, well I have to pick up one more gift certificate then I am DONE!!!  Woohoo!!  How about you?

This weekend I went crazy!  I baked 3 loafs of bread, pumpkin, gingerbread and banana with chocolate chips.  Made two batches of Granola (recipe coming this week, it’s so good), 4 different kinds of cookies (all new recipes coming soon) and 8 jars of my Apple Cinnamon Peanut Butter.  Insanity!  Now this evening I have to pack it all up.  I am giving food gifts as Christmas presents to my co-workers.  I’m getting really tired, so I hope they don’t mind that I’m not dressing up my packages.  I know packaging is everything.  Maybe I’ll change my mind?

Well you know I bought that Cookie Butter/Speculoos Spread from Trader Joe’s and I needed to use it up to get rid of it.  So I decided to make cookies with it.  I used my Classic Peanut Butter Cookie recipe with some minor changes.  I put a nice Speculoos glaze over the top of the cookie.  I think they turned out pretty good.


The dough to these cookies is super soft, and I mean soft!   I put cross marks in them like I do Peanut Butter Cookies and the dough was sticking.  I would just flattened them out or if you want cross marks, dip the fork in sugar.  I do recommend sprinkling a little sugar on top of the cookie before baking it!  It gives a slight crunch!  When the cookies come out of the oven they are soft but harden right up. Actually they are the texture to a perfect cookie.  Crisp outside, softish center.   Also when you roll the balls of dough, make them small, they get quite large after baking.  I got 82 cookies out of this batch!

Would I make these cookies again?  Yes I would! These cookies have a different taste almost a subtle gingerbread taste to them.   I bet you could add some cinnamon or ginger to the batter to really make the flavors pop!  I must say really like them.

Speculoss Cookies – Adapted from my Classic Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients:

1 Cup Speculoos Cookie Butter from Trader Joe’s

1 Cup Unsalted Butter

1/4 Cup Sugar

1/2 Cup Brown Sugar

1 tsp. Baking Soda

1 tsp. Baking Powder

2 Eggs or Substitute

1 tsp. Vanilla Extract

1 1/4 Cup All Purpose Flour

1 1/4 Cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour

1 Tbsp Turbinado Sugar

For Glaze:

3 tablespoons Speculoos/Cookie Butter

2 tablespoons Non-Fat Milk

1/3 Cup Powdered Sugar

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and Cookie Butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and baking powder. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally.

Beat in the eggs/Substitute and vanilla until combined.

Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour.

Cover and chill dough about 1 hour or until easy to handle.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet (these cookies grow). Using the tines of a fork, flatten balls by making crisscross marks on top or flatten with your hand.  You may have to dip your fork in the sugar for easier pressing.  Now Sprinkle with Sugar

Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until bottoms are light brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.

To make the glaze-combine Speculoos/Cookie Butter, powdered sugar, milk, in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth. If it is too thick or thin, adjust by adding more milk or powdered sugar. Drizzle glaze over cooled cookies.

Makes 82 cookies

So are you planning on buying Trader Joe’s Cookie Butter?  What are you going to do with it?

Well I am off  to start packaging up my goodies.  Have a wonderful week!!

    I can’t believe you got 82 cookies out of this batch??!

    I guess though as I’m reading it, the 1 c of butter AND the 1 c of cookie butter, that’s going to produce a lot of cookies! They look awesome.

    I saw this post on Trader Joes list of super bowl recipes and loved it so much I just had to check out the recipe on your site. I don’t have the cookie butter, but you better be certain that I’m grabbing it the next time I head over there!

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

I updated my little corner by adding some pops of yellow. I just love adding yellow and I love adding lemons. Speaking of lemons, how cute is my little “Hello Sunshine” pillow is from @krumpetshomedecor.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?
