Instructions

  1. For the dough, whip the butter and both types of sugar. First add the fine white sugar, then the muscovado sugar to the butter. When the mixture is nice and soft and fluffy, beat in the eggs, then all the spices, the baking powder, and finally the two types of flour. Knead vigorously and put the finished dough in cling film in the refrigerator for 1 day.
  2. Then roll out about 0.5 cm thick and cut out males. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 ° C for about 15 minutes. The males are done when they are firm to the touch.
  3. A classic powdered sugar and egg white mixture, possibly colored, can be used for decoration.
  4. You can also use speculoos molds for this dough.
