American Baker in Germany

 I love Biscoff cookies, also known as Lotus cookies. They're basically a spiced butter cookie and they're very easy to find in Germany in the holidays. But outside of that time of year, they can be more difficult to find. So, I decided it was time to learn to make them myself. Biscoff Cookies Copycat: 2 cups (250g) flour 2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/4 tsp ginger 1/4 tsp cloves 1/2 tsp baking soda pinch salt 1 tsp vanilla extract or 1 tbsp vanilla sugar 1 cup (250g) butter 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar Combine all the dry ingredients together.  In a separate bowl, cream butter. Cream brown sugar and vanilla with it.  Slowly add the dry ingredients until mixture forms a dry dough.  Roll out onto baking paper and remove dough between cut outs. These will spread a bit, so make sure they have plenty of space between them.  Bake at 350°F or 180°C for 10-12 minutes or until dough is no longer shiny and edges are just starting to brown.  Watch us make this simple ...
