For this recipe, I purchased the Yuletide Stamp set from Nordic Ware. They are about 3 inches in diameter. The servings are based on this cookie set. But you can use any cookie cutter. The stamping is purely for decoration.
If you are making smaller and thinner cookies, adjust your oven time. I recommend starting checking after 8 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I have to use Cookie Stamps to make Spekulatius?
A: Not at all. You can use regular cookie cutters. You won't get the nice detailed motifs, but the cookies will still be delicious.I even remember that Oma used a simple water glass to cut cookies. In other words, you can get as fancy or casual as you like.
Q: How long do these Cookies last?
A: They will last several weeks or months if you store them in an airtight container.
Q: Can You Freeze Spekulatius Cookies?
A: To freeze the cookies, place them in a freezer-safe container or freezer bag, separating the layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Label the container with the date and contents.Store the cookies in the freezer for up to 3 months.When ready to enjoy, thaw the cookies at room temperature for a few hours before serving.

Making these today and they smell heavenly! Unfortunately, I've run into the same issue as Tammy -- the dough is incredibly crumbly and doesn't come together or roll out or stamp well. I've tried to add additional butter, as you suggested, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. When you grind the almonds, is the 1 cup measured before or after grinding? Can almond flour be substituted for the ground almonds (this is what I did since I had it on hand and it's worked in other recipes for me)? Thank you for any insight into where I might have gone wrong! Will definitely try again since they are delicious.
Now these are the cookies that NEED to be on my table ASAP. They look absolutely amazing!
