I've only found Berger and Trapp use Speculatius as the name for the cookies, rather than speculaas. http://www.catholicculture.org/culture/liturgicalyear/recipes/view.cfm?id=169 Or perhaps there was there was another source circulating at the same time. Maria Trapp used a ghost writer to help her write her books. <br /><br />But regardless, these cookies are delicious. No recipe rivals it. We do all butter, instead of shortening or lard.<br /><br />Love your blogs!Jennifer Gregory Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677077951743177153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8889677026904054314.post-55321721567174066572008-12-04T15:33:00.000-05:002008-12-04T15:33:00.000-05:00Those sound delicious!!!

Your descriptions sounds spot on... crunchy spicy, buttery... oh so good! Will definitely try these! The ones in Belgium were darker in colour.<BR/><BR/>P.S. We have that same cookie cutter from Paul's Grandma. It always takes me forever to figure out what it is! ;-)Deahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12673929531689315157noreply@blogger.com
