CHEF'S NOTES
An original idea from Pierre Wynants of the Restaurant Comme Chez Soi in Brussels
*I call these "miniatures" because they're designed to be lighter and thinner, and served at the end of a meal. True speculoos are fairly large shapes representing characters from folklore and are usually made for St. Nicholas day. They're an afternoon cookie to serve with a cup of coffee or tea.
"You can store them in a closed cookie tin, but they're best freshly prepared."
