SPECULOOS SWIRL BROWNIES

1 1/4 cup spelt flour
1/2 cup cacao powder
3/4 tsp fine sea salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp flax meal
1/4 cup filtered water
6 tbsp non-hyrdogenated shortening
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 1/4 cup cane sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup almond milk
2-4 tbsp speculoos spread, melted

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9? round (or square) baking pan with parchment paper; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cacao powder, salt and baking soda; set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the flax meal and water; put in freezer to set. In a double boiler over medium heat, stir together the shortening, chocolate chips, sugar and vanilla extract. Don't worry about really stirring it until the shortening and chocolate start to melt. Once they do, stir just until the mixture is combined. Remove from heat and stir in the almond milk.

Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the flax mixture and chocolate mixture; stir with a wooden spoon until combined, then whisk until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and level with the back of a spoon. Drizzle melted speculoos over batter then swirl using the end of a knife (or your finger). Wrap pan on the countertop a few times until the batter is level. Bake at 350°F for 24-26 minutes. Allow to cool in pan. Store in an air tight container for up to five days.

Gingerbread Speculoos Rugelach

Ingredients

• 1 pkg refrigerated pie crusts
• ½ cup Speculoos spread
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 Tbsp cinnamon
• 2 tsp ginger (or more to taste)
• ½ cup (or so) chopped pecans
• Egg wash (just one egg beaten with a fork)
• Coarse sugar (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 pans with silicone liners, parchment paper, or use an Heirloom cookie sheet. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon and ginger with a little spoon until combined. Add more cinnamon, ginger, pumpkin pie spice, a pinch of nutmeg -- whatever -- to suit your taste.
3. On a clean, flat work surface, roll out the pie crusts. Spread each surface generously with the Speculoos spread. Sprinkle evenly with the chopped nuts and then copiously pour the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the nuts.
4. Using a sharp paring knife, cut each pie crust like a pizza; you should get about 16 triangle-sized pieces out of each pie crust. Starting with the larger end, roll the pie crusts up crescent-roll style, trying to enclose the nuts if you can.
5. Place the cookies on the baking sheet, about ½" apart. Brush lightly with the egg wash; sprinkle with the coarse sugar if you'd like. Bake for approx. 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and serve!

Chocolate Speculoos Butter Cups

Photo and Recipe by: Andtheycookhappilyeverafter

Yield: about 20-24 cups

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup Speculoos spread
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 8oz. milk (or dark) chocolate
• *colored sprinkles

Instructions

1) On a large baking sheet, place 20-24 mini sized paper baking cups.

2) In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and Speculoos spread over low heat until fully combined. Remove from heat and gently fold in the confectioner sugar a little at a time until a dough-like ball forms. Set aside and let cool for about 10-15 minutes, until it's no longer hot to touch.

3) In the meantime, melt your chocolate in a microwave or double boiler.

4) Place about 1/2 teaspoon of melted chocolate in the bottom of the paper baking cups. Then, take another 1/2 teaspoon of the Speculoos spread dough, roll it between your palms and then flatten the ball a bit to make an oval disk. Place the disk on top of the chocolate, and then cover the Speculoos spread disk with another 1/2 teaspoon of melted chocolate. Feel free to use more of the Speculoos spread dough for the center, depending on how thick you would like it to be. Whatever you decide to put in the center will ultimately determine how many you end up with.

5) Let sit at room temperature until chocolate hardens, or chill in the refrigerator to speed up the hardening time.
