Pecan Maple Speculoos Cookies

speculoos cookies

These Pecan Maple Speculoos Cookies are infused with one of my new addictions: speculoos spread. My fave brand is the Biscoff version although you can find speculoos at Trader Joes, Le Pain Quotidien and more. If you havent tried this creamy, thick cookie spread you are in for a brand new flavor sensation. This spread all warmly spiced and smelling of cozy really does taste like, well, cookies. Cookies that have melted into velvety bliss. I was feeling adventurous with my new favorite kitchen treat and decided to change my peanut butter cookie recipe into a speculoos cookie recipe. With maple-soaked pecans on top. The result was a spiced, rich cookie that seemed perfect for serving with tea or coffee. Get the recipe!..

The result? Loved these! They had a slightly biscuit-y sweet texture that made me think they were probably the perfect tea or coffee cookie. Lovely to dunk or dip in a beverage. The warm spiced flavor accented by the nutty pecan was lovely! These cookies are even vegan speculoos cookie spread is a vegan product.

1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup sugar
