I have to say that windmill cookies are some of the most yummy, delicious cookies ever! They are great dipped into tea or coffee and tasty when also dipped into chocolate. I get a few boxes of these, and gingerbread guys, every year.
Tip.. if you have left over dough..rol smal parts in little balls. And place them on the tray with the coockies. And cook them two. We name those little balls Pepernoten. Translated peppernuts. Some dutch baker here in holland start making them because he had small bits of left over dough. And they became famous since 1780. Your son will love them!!
About 20 years ago, my boss brought some spiced biscuits from The Netherlands, which were shaped like the narrow Dutch houses with the fancy shaped gables at the top. Everyone went crazy for these biscuits, especially us women! I've been looking everywhere for a recipe and will try yours but leave the cocoa out and maybe increase the spices slightly. I'm pretty sure the biscuits we ate didn't have cocoa in, but they were pretty spicy and very "more-ish"! Us girls couldn't get enough of them! Love your channel and the way you always greet your viewers.
True story, the other night I watched how you made the cookies and when I went to sleep I had a dream that I opened my friends fridge and the cookies were in there same shape color everything just as you made them! I was eating them I've never had them but they tasted to good in the dream! LOL!
Im going to try asap ! I love your channel Emmy and this made me love you even more ... I am part Dutch and my grandma would always make these cookies for Christmas she brought the recipe back from the the Netherlands when she visited our family! I havnt bad these cookies in yearssssss! She passed a few years ago and my cousin (only one with recipe) refuses to make them for me or give me the recipe so thank you very much ! I cannot wait ! Yes please try with thin sliced almonds before baking ! I can already taste them !
For breadmaking, rice flour is what I use for making stenciled designs and for dusting my banetton. It helps things release without getting sticky the way flour can. I'm guessing it would work best for flouring these molds.
Amazing, we are experimenting with 3d printer cookie cutters and seeing this molding process opens another door. thanks for sharing & greetings from 2023 :)
It is interesting to learn that in many countries and cultures this spice mix [cardemon, nutmeg, cinamon, ginger and even allspice] is the taste of new year (like the honey cakes and cookies we traditionally eat for our new year in Israel). If you watch emmy eats Israel, you'll see she had been sent a bag of these cookies, with heavy sugar icing.
Yay today we celebrated Sinterklaas here in the Netherlands. I get all happy and fuzzy when i eat those spiced cookies and what not during the cold winters. :]
Try using mandarin orange zest instead of lemon peel. Make your own dried mandarin zest by zesting mandarin and drying out the zest in the oven at roughly 200 °F / 80 °C. Spread out the zest on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Dry in the oven for an hour turning the zest halfway making sure it dries evenly. Once dry, take out of the oven to cool and use a mortar and pestle to ground it into powder. For your recipe one mandarin orange should be enough. Overnight the dough in the fridge so that the flavors can develop.
As a Dutch person it really makes me happy that you like our culture and products so much! I've seen a few videos just of the Netherlands food and candy.. And there is so much left. Maybe you should come to the Netherlands one time ;-). Fijne Sinterklaas to you to (meaning 'happy/enjoy sinterklaas')
Wow, I really expected a shitstorm here because Americans tend to find this holiday very racist. They even started protesting it in the Netherlands a few years back... Tnx for making this Emmy, Happy Sinterklaas! Sinterklaas is actually an contraction of "Sint (Saint) Nicolaas" who was a real man. Saint Nicholas of Myra, he was the arch bishop there. Americans turned Sint Nicolaas into Saint Nic and that's where Santa Claus comes from! :P It's pretty weird to think we now also celebrate the American Christmas with the Santa they got from us in the first place. :P
I'm so happy you like most of out Dutch products and the culture and just it would be awesome if you could come here someday cuz there is sooo much left and happy Sinterklaas 2 you 2!!!!!
Those look great! And don't worry about calling the molds German, grammie might just be right. It is also eaten in parts of Germany and then it is called Spekulatius. So your moulds might have just come from Germany, but it is really widespread and well known in the Netherlands and Belgium. And we Dutch can get a bit touchy when things are called German. But like I said the molds might just be German :)
They're supposed to be very dark, by the use of sugar syrup. And you're not supposed to add almond milk. But yeah I like this new cookie invention and I'm gonna try it! Thanks
The reason why your speculoos isn't crunchy is that you used an egg. In Belgium, we don't use any egg in speculoos because it would make them soft and that's the last thing you want. Also, we never use lemon zest, but I think it adds an extra flavor I can appreciate. :) If you master the crunchy speculoos, try to dip them in milk chocolate on one side once they're cooled off. It's divine! Btw, these molds are really cute!
You always make me smile. Thanks for your scrumptious, funny videos! I've always thought speculaas to be more crunchy though... maybe less milk next time around?
So cool, I've never used cookie molds...except maybe this terracotta one ages ago and the cookie wouldn't come out of the mold, boo! Anyway, I watched this while creaming sugar into butter for snickerdoodles!
EMMY!!! I was wondering if you can do a video of KIDNEY DISEASE FRIENDLY FOODS PLEASE I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT I LOVE YIUR VIDEOS IM A FAN!!! Love JUAN!!
there is actually a tradition behind these cookies, a man/boy would make one of these and decorate them with nuts for instance and give it to the girl he fancied, if the girl accepted the cookie this would mean she liked him too. this was a long time ago though , just a fun fact :P
Thanks for the recipe... I will adapt it to make them in a sugar-free version; I can no longer find them in stores (made by Heaven Scent). I just discovered your videos when I was investigating Natto. I wonder if you know how to prepare some gluten I bought at a Japanese store... I can't read Japanese, and don't know what to do with it! It is like a cross between rusk toast and a dry sponge... not like the soft gluten meat substitute that I love.
speculoos cookies are one of my favorite cookies ever. love them but never made them myself. i got some speculoos spice for a cake i made the other day and have some left over, so i guess i should try these. yum.
Oh Emmy how beautiful!!! I have been talking to one of your fellow fans and she sent me her recipe for these cookies and I am dying to give them a try, now that I've seen you make them I'm not as nervous about it! Yours turned out beautiful and those molds are simply lovely! I'm jealous! =}
i wich i could remember the recepie for lussekatter :C its a bun we eat here in sweden (im not shure if tehey eat it annywere eles i havent seen it atleast) its a saffron bun lussekatter is eaten just as much as gingerbred and its werry werry traditional and you can see it everywere in stores around christmas time they are swirld into a kind of S shape and then you put raisins in it i cant really describ it more then that but if you can find a recepie i sugest you shold trye it :3 lussekatter can also be calld lussebullar but lussekatter is how we usualy say it lusse is like lucia wich is a thing we selebrate here its way to long to tell here but its werry beautiful story and katter is cats dont know why its named that but oh well :) i just whanted to sugest a werry delishus swedish christmas bun! :3

it's best to leave the dough in the fridge overnight so the flavours can develope

Speculaas Cookies are my most favourite cookie to eat. I also like Dutch Almond Cookies as well.

Those are very similar to the German Spekulatius cookies that you can get this time of year. :D
I love that bird pourer thing and that looks delicious
I love windmill cookies. We are make my some for Christmas.
Windmill Cookies are soo good. I love your carvings/ cookie molds.
My mom has the molds from when we lived oversees thank you now i can make cookies with them
I got some kind of a Speculaas set to bake for my birthday and have no idea how to do them. Thanks to your video! x
so cute I love the cookies mold!!
Yay today we celebrated Sinterklaas here in the Netherlands. I get all happy and fuzzy when i eat those spiced cookies and what not during the cold winters. :]
Aww, warm and fuzzies are the best.

As I watched this I was eating a dutch cookie, the nutmeg and cinnamon taste like Christmas in my mouth to me :3
:)
Before baking at thinly sliced almonds, they are amazing :)

They're supposed to be very dark, by the use of sugar syrup. And you're not supposed to add almond milk. But yeah I like this new cookie invention and I'm gonna try it! Thanks
We had a great Sinterklaas evening.. :) The weather wasn't great but the spirits were high!
I just made these and they were so good! My family loved them. They didn't last 20 minutes ^-^ way to go emmie!
