In Chop & Brew Episode 86, our friend Carl Allen told us all about how he and his wife Abby fell in love with speculoos cookies on a trip to Belgium. They were so inspired by the flavors of the delicious treat that she learned to make the cookies at home and learned to homebrew a beer with the same bread, dark sugar, and spice flavors. If you’d like to see the recipe that Abby uses for her speculoos cookies, see this link to the Serious Eats website for Homemade Biscoff (Belgian Speculoos Cookies) Recipe. Shout-out to the wonderful Stella Parks (BraveTart) for her recipe. Remember: these cookies go amazingly well with this homebrew recipe for a Belgian Abbey Style Christmas Ale, as it was inspired specifically by the flavors of speculoos cookies. So get to chopping and brewing!
