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!!

Here’s a sneak peak of whats to come!

    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 actually made them normal size! They spread out pretty good! I checked my TJ’s today and they didn’t have any in stock, but soon they will! At least that is what they told me!

    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! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and rain. I’m still blown away by this crazy weather. It feels like it’s never going to end. I just hope everyone is safe.
🌿
I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
