In Dutch, Speculaas is also known as Speculaaskruiden. In Germany, Spekulatius, is traditional in Westphalia and the Rhineland. The speculaas cookie is thin, crunchy, and has a caramelized taste. Mostly baked around St Nicholas's Day and Christmas in Europe. Here at Boston Spice, you can get this tasty spice blend any time of year. Traditional speculaas cookies are pressed into a wooden speculaas mold with an image of some sort carved into the mold. But these cookies can be baked without having the wooden mold. Use a basic ring mold or shaped mold to cut the dough.

The Dutch merchants could easily export their goods to the American colonies as long as the British did not see the Netherlands as a threat. The American Patriots did receive large amounts of gunpowder, arm, and other goods from the Netherlands during the fight for Independence. In 1780, John Adams spent most of his time trying to build a network of relations in the Netherlands and procure a loan from the Dutch government to help the American cause. After the surrender of British General Cornwallis at Yorktown, Adams, still in the Netherlands, purchased a large house in "The Hague" which was to become the first embassy in American History.
