"A very traditional Belgian spice cookie. In Belgium, these are made in various ways. You can bake in one large piece and crack into pieces to serve. Or you can use a cookie cutter to make shapes. But the traditional way is to cut cookies and imprint with a cookie mold. Think Springerle cookie, only better tasting! Biscoff cookies ARE in fact Speculoos. The vergeoise is a special type of brown sugar, hard to find except on Amazon (expensive!!!)"
