- Preheat the oven to 200° C.
- Flour your work surface and flatten the dough until the thickness is between 1 and 2 cm.
- Cut the dough into the desired shape(s) and put it on a greased baking sheet (on the baking tray). Repeat until all your dough is ready to bake.
- Brush your speculoos slightly with the soy milk. If wanted, you can sprinkle the almond flakes over the cookies.
- Put in the heated oven and bake for 10 minutes, watch carefully so the speculoos does not burn.
- Keep leftovers (if any) in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.
Notes
When your dough crumbles when flattening, it helps to knead again by hand and to put it back into a ball before flattening it again. Repeat until the dough is more conclusive when you roll out the dough.
