Hi just tried your recipe ! The speculaaskruiden mix is great. I was just wondering if yours came out real crunchy like the originals, or more soft like falling apart soft?

Dank voor het recept, en voor de giggle om het “…are thrown around so our kids can eat them off the floor”. Inderdaad! Hier in Japan is zoiets onvoorstelbaar… van de vloer eten is ‘not done’. Zou overigens wel goed kunnen want is erg schoon (schoenen gaan uit zodra je ergens binnenkomt)… hahaha. Anyway, er zijn nergens kruidnootjes te vinden dus ga ik me er in de komende weken zelf aan wagen zodat we op 5 dec. in stijl Sinterklaas kunnen vieren! Dochterlief zal het strooien voor de eerste keer meemaken en vindt het vast geweldig. Mmmmm

I knew these way back when as “pepernooten”…. These were traditionally thrown into out home allong with little hard sugary candies (that melt in your mouth) by the dutch santa’s helper. You would just see a white gloved hand through the opening in the door. Of course it was mom or dad, but as kids we screamed with glee over the fact that we now knew that Santa was on his way on his big white Arabian Stallion! Hope you didn’t mind me sharing but you brought back a cherished child hood memory. Thank you for that and I will definitely make these for my granddaughters this Christmas. Hugs, Margaretha (uit Amerika)

[...] my lack of Dutch rhyming skills and personally, I enjoyed the holiday of Sinterklaas solely for the crunchy gingerbread cookies and chocolate [...]

Kay – these are great! I made them on the weekend and my husband has been munching on them instead of dinner! I was wondering, once dipped in the chocolate, do they freeze well? The recipe makes so much, I would like to freeze them. If not, I can skip the chocolate to freeze. Again, so yummy! ;)

Made these cookies last night! Ground my own cardamon, cloves and anise seeds. I tried the spice mix without the anise seeds and it just didn’t have the authentic taste! Added them, 1 tsp. as you said and it was perfect! I did end up using more spice mix though, because I like a super spicy cookie. 2 to 2 1/2 tbsp. did the trick. THey were perfect!
