Happy 2014! I’m kicking off the new year making my second favorite pastry dough, puff pastry. It loses out to pate a choux for the sole reason that it takes SO LONG to make. I’m specifically talking about inactive time, which may not sound bad but when it is in intervals, 2 hours each x 4 in this particular recipe, you really need a day at home for this project. Perfect snowed-in activity.
Speculoos cookies are similar to gingersnaps but the spice here being cinnamon. These are a great alternative to the traditional spice or gingerbread cookie because they are more mild and they don’t have that strong molasses flavor.
These Halloween treats are decadent versions of s’mores with a Speculoos cookie brim (delicious on it’s own), piped homemade marshmallow for the point and a chocolate covering to give them a wicked look.
