California Farm Traditional Speculaas Cookies

Yani from Fondacion Argentino-Holandese de Solidaritad published the recipe for the spices in here, we experimented and went crazy! We love these cookies. Grandson is going off to college tomorrow with enough cookies till Christmas break. I found out that embossing the dough with a Holiday pattern roller works flawlessly when using cold dough the thickness of your smartphone, after dusting it with sweet rice flour. I also use a traditional wooden windmill cookie mold to make big cookies. The speculaas dough rolled around almond spice makes another special treat. See my other recipe in cookpad for sugar free speculaas cookies.
