Dutch Speculaas Cookies
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
These Dutch spice cookies are traditionally moulded in carved wooden boards and unmoulded before baking. Because they reflect the design of the moulds, they got their name from the Latin word “Speculum or looking glass”. This recipe for an easier rolled version has the same memorable flavour. They are so pretty added to a holiday cookie tray.

If you’re not keen on pumpkin but still want to indulge in the soul-warming flavours of fall, give browned butter a try! Using a light coloured pan interior ensures you can see the butter brown and not burn.When added to this favourite cookie recipe, it imparts a toasted nuttiness that complements the oats with hints of brown sugar, cardamom and cinnamon—now that’s peak autumnal coziness.

This recipe produces a soft chocolate chip cookie which is perfect for making cookie ice cream sandwiches. You do not have to chill this cookie dough! For best results, I recommend using mini chocolate chips and freezing the assembled sandwiches for at least 3 hours.
Canada Day Lemonade & Ice Box Cookies

It's cottage time here in Ontario and we've got two recipes to share this weekend. Ice box cookies are a favourite standby in the summertime. Store this slice-and-bake roll of cookie dough in your fridge or freezer - to make freshly baked cookies that are ready in 10 minutes. And keeping a jar of this lemon syrup in the fridge makes it easy to stir up a glassful or pitcher of fresh lemonade for company!
Anna Olson's European Gingerbread Cut-Out Cookies
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
Here is a nice twist on the holiday classic, decorated gingerbread cookies. This recipe is inspired by speculoos, a notably buttery and nicely spiced cookie common in Europe. The subtle differences between a traditional North American–style gingerbread and this recipe are the use of honey in place of molasses and the addition of a little cardamom, ground anise and black pepper to the spice mix in place of ginger.
