These are very popular spice cookies in Holland, especially for Sinterklaas (St. Nicholas Day, December 5). The sweet spice flavor is wonderful. The prep time includes refrigerating the dough overnight.

Combine sugar and milk in a bowl.2

In another bowl, sift the dry ingredients and blend in the butter until the mixture is like cornmeal.4

These are very nice cookies. The dough, for me, was extremely hard to work with, but I've had trouble with this type of recipe before, so not the recipe fault. All in all the flavor was very appealing. Thanks

The dough for these cookies went together quickly. I couldn't help but eat some as I was scraping it from the spatula, very buttery. I didn't have any problem working with it after it had chilled. I used some larger flower cutters and they turned out quite pretty. I think I could have rolled out my dough thinner. I guess pretty thin is pretty thin. I had to cook mine longer. They aren't the best spice cookie I have had but they were still very good. I don't know that the almonds added much for me and I am big into nuts. The kids did enjoy them. Made for my Babes for ZWT4.
