Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings 1 ½ cups brown sugar 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 1 egg 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon ground cloves ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg 3 cups all-purpose flour Directions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Dust two baking sheets with flour. Beat brown sugar and butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, cinnamon, baking powder, cloves, and nutmeg. Mix in flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough comes together. Shape dough into cookies by hand or using cookie cutters; arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until firm but not hard, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Cook's Notes: I always flour my baking sheets rather than greasing them when baking; I personally think it has a much better quality. If you do not want to flour the baking sheet, you must grease it. If you really want to have a lot of fun, purchase a speculaas plank, which is a wooden mold created especially for these cookies. Flour the mold and gently press the dough in. Flip the mold over the baking sheet and peel the cookie out. I am constantly praised and asked about my gorgeous, delicious cookies and frequently use them as Christmas gifts and treats when I've used the mold.
