Although Biscoff biscuits originated in Belgien they are a very European biscuit, and a similar version of the German Christmas Spekulatius biscuit.
These biscuits were given to children in Germany on St. Nicholas Day, as a special treat because of the very expensive spices contained in them.

servings1
hourIngredients
120 g Almond Flour
5 tsp Coconut Flour
1 tsp Cocoa Powder
1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum
60 g Unsalted Butter – melted and cooled
45 g Erythritol
5 drops Liquid Sweetener (or increase erythritol)
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 small Egg
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg
1/4 tsp Ground Cardamom
1/8 tsp Ground Cloves
1/4 tsp Himalayan Salt
Method
- Preheat oven 160 C
- Whisk butter and erythritol until creamy.
- Add egg, vanilla extract and liquid sweetener. Whisk.
- Sieve coconut flour, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, cloves, cocoa powder and xanthan gum.
- Add to mixture.
- Whisk.
- Add the almond flour.
- Form into a dough with your hands, kneading well.
- On greaseproof paper press into a flat squarish shape.
- Cover with a second piece of greaseproof paper and roll with a rolling pin until 1/8 inch thickness.
- Using a square cutter – press the cutter into the rolled out dough and wiggle it up and down and side to side, so that you have square biscuits with a gap in between each.
- then cut the greaseproof paper in between the biscuits, and place each individual biscuit on a baking sheet.
- do it like this because the dough is too soft to pick up, or cut out like regular biscuits made with flour.
- Bake the biscuits in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until slightly browned.
- The biscuits are soft and chewy when warm but harden up when cool.
