Posted for ZWT6 – Great Britain Region. These are a traditional spice biscuit (known in the US as a cookie) that is served during holidays and in bakeries throughout Britain. If you don’t have all the individual containers of spices – you may use a pumpkin pie spice mix or a combination of cinnamon and nutmeg.

I don’t make this often, but my great grandmother brought this to the United States when she emigrated from Belgium in the 1910’s. I thought I should write it down somewhere I couldn’t lose it. She made these like icebox cookies, but she said that in Belgium the bakers would have cookie molds of pretty shapes carved into wooden slabs. They would press the dough over the slabs, then turn the slabs upside down over a cookie sheet, give it a sharp tap and the cookies would fall onto the sheet ready for baking. (Note: I’m not at all sure how many this makes, my estimate was a total guess)

Thin, delicate cookies from Belgium. One tip I read was to use a silicone liner for your baking sheet. The yield is approximate for the raw batter. Your actual number of cookies and cooking time will depend on your shapes. Have fun with the designs!
