Speculoos is a spiced biscuit originating in Belgium and the Netherlands, traditionally associated with the holiday season, especially around St.

Nicholas Day. These cookies are made with a blend of warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves, giving them their distinctive flavor and aroma.

They have a crisp texture and are often molded into decorative shapes using embossed wooden molds. Speculoos has also become popular as a spreadable product, sometimes referred to as a cookie butter.

The spread is made by grinding Speculoos cookies into a creamy or crunchy paste, often sweetened and enriched with oil to create a smooth consistency. It's versatile, used as a topping for toast, pancakes, or as an ingredient in dessert.

The unique spiced flavor and versatility of Speculoos have contributed to its global appeal.
