Belgian Spice Cookies (Speculoos)

• 2 tablespoons cold milk

1. In a food processor add the flour, sugar, salt, spices, and butter. Blend until grainy.
2. Add the milk, a little at a time, with the machine on, until the mixture forms a dough ball.

4. Roll into a ball and wrap in plastic film. Leave to rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. (24 hours is best.)
5. Preheat the oven to 170C.
6. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
7. Roll out the dough into a rectangle. (If too sticky, roll out between 2 sheets of plastic film.)
8. Place the dough onto a baking tray.
9. Bake for 25 minutes, until golden and soft to touch. (It will harden as it cools).
10. Break up with the hands or cut with a knife into desired portions.
