Meet the coziest cookie around: THE SPECULOOS! 🍪 With its crunchy texture and warm, spiced flavor, it’s perfect for dunking in tea, coffee—or even a cold glass of milk 🥛

In the Netherlands, these cookies are a wintertime favorite, especially during the St. Nicholas feast on December 6th. Legend has it, the name speculaas may come from speculum (Latin for “mirror”)—a nod to the traditional molded images pressed into each cookie. Or maybe it’s from speculator, meaning “watcher”—just like St. Nick himself! 🎅

You might recognize them as Belgian spice cookies or Dutch windmill cookies in the U.S., but no matter what you call them, they’re delicious all year round.

Do you like your cookies with coffee, tea, or milk? Let us know your ultimate cookie-dunking combo below👇
