Speculoos cookies, originating from Belgium, are spiced shortcrust biscuits traditionally made with a mix of spices including cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. These cookies embody the essence of warmth and comfort, often prepared during the festive season. The word ‘speculoos’ is derived from the Latin word ‘speculum’, which means mirror—a reference to the patterned molds used in cookie-making. This tart not only showcases the beloved flavors of speculoos but also transforms them into an elegant dessert that can be enjoyed year-round.
