This is a great recipe that used to make some very tasty Speculaas Cookies using Boston Spice "Dutch Trade" spice blend.2 tsp real vanilla extract1 cup sugar1 cup unsalted softened butter1 1/4 cup dark brown sugar3 1/2 cups regular flour2 large eggs2 tsp baking soda1 tsp kosher salt2 1/2 TBL Boston Spice Dutch Trade spice blendAn electric mixed works best. Add the butter, both sugars, and butter to a large mixing bowl and cream together until light and airy. Mix in the eggs and blend well.In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, Dutch Trade, and kosher salt together.Slowly add the dry mix to the wet mix, combining as you add a little at a time. The dough will pull away from the sides of your bowl when done.Divide the dough in half, wrap in plastic wrap and chill in your refrigerator for about 30 minutes to an hour. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to around 1/4" thick. Using your favorite cookie cutters or the top of a drinking glass, cut out your cookie and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350 degree over for about 10 to 12 minutes. Depending on your oven and cookie thickness, these times may vary. The cookies with crisp up a little as they cool.
