Speculoos butter and Speculaas cookies
If you have been to Europe, especially Holland, you would have come across Speculoos. Speculoos is the cookie butter made from Speculaas cookies. So, Speculaas cookies are the cookies, and when made into a sweet spread or cookie butter, it then becomes Speculoos.
We stock both the Speculoos cookie butter (smooth or crunchy) as well as the Speculaas cookies. The cookie butter can be eaten straight from the jar (you really just need a teaspoon!).
So, whát is Speculaas? Speculaas is a type of spiced shortcrust biscuit, traditionally baked for consumption on or just before St Nicholas' day in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg (beginning of December), and around Christmas in Germany and Austria.
You can find it all year round at the Deli.
