SPECULAAS (DUTCH STYLE GINGERBREAD BISCUITS)
These are one of our family's favorite dutch cookies (they bake thin and crisp so they are more of a biscuit than a cookie, thus the name)

Steps:
- 1. Combine flour, sugar, spice and salt
- 2. Dice the butter and mix into the flour using a pastry cutter or two knives then add milk and with your hands quickly knead all into a firm dough (do this quickly so the heat from your hands does not warm the dough too much)
- 3. wrap the dough in saran wrap and let rest at least 2 hours but overnight is preferable to develope the spice flavor
- 4. Pre heat oven to 375
- 5. Roll dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes
- 6. Cool on a wire rack, break into pieces to serve.
- 7. * Speculaas spice: 1/2 Cup Cinnamon 1/4 Cup Cloves 1/4 Cup Nutmeg 1/2 Cup Ground Ginger 1/4 Cup Cardamom 1/8 Cup White Pepper (You can use a pre-made gingerbread spice but it will not be the same, the gingerbread spices have allspice and no cardamom or white pepper, but use what ever suits your tastes)
