- Beat in the spices, salt, baking powder and soda then gradually mix in the flour. Drizzle in the maple syrup, only as much as needed until the dough comes together.1 tbsp Speculaas spice, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda, ¼ tsp salt, 1 ⅔ cups (200g) flour, 1 tbsp maple syrup
- Shape the dough into a ball, flatten, cover and place in the fridge for at least an hour or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Take the dough out of the fridge and allow it to come back to room temperature.
- Mix the gluten free flour with the spices if using cookie molds or embossed rolling pins.3 tbsp gluten free flour, 1 tbsp spice mix
- Roll out sections of the dough on a silicone baking mat using a rolling pin with spacer rings to a thickness of 3-5mm.
- Carefully space out the cookies using an offset spatula, place the silicone baking mat on a cookie sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until they start coloring at the edges. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack - they will harden when fully cooled down.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 10 days (if you don’t eat them all that is).
