"I love spiced speculaas and developed my own recipe for them out of some of my favorites. It's worth using dark muscovado sugar in them, which really gives them a special flavor. I have silicone speculaas mould that is really useful! However, you can also roll the dough out, press out the shapes, and bake on a lined baking sheet."
