Keriann's Speculaas Cookies (recipe link)
"Speculaas are an all time traditional holiday treat in Holland. Fun fact - the reason we call cookies 'cookies' and not 'biscuits' like the English do is because of the Dutch influence here. They call them koekjas, pronounced cook-ya!
Speculaas have their own special spice mix similar to our pumpkin pie spice with a touch of white pepper too."
Inga's Favorite Gingerbread Cookies (recipe link)
"This was a tradition that I started when my kids were little. I'd make big batches for them to decorate and as they got older they would have their friends do it along with a gift exchange."
Leah's Matzoon Cookie Recipe (recipe link)
"This is an Armenian recipe. Armenians don't do overly sweet desserts, but this is a fun and simple recipe that is really good with a cup of tea or coffee. It is similar to a muffin top. FYI- Matzoon is plain yogurt!"
