Instructions
Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 13 minutes; Total time approx. 28 minutes
aromatic, South African spice cookies
Mix the flour with the baking soda, add the sugar, almonds, and spices, and mix. Finely dice the margarine and add it to the mixture. Whisk the eggs and add them along with the wine. Mix everything together to form a smooth dough. Using a teaspoon, place small mounds of dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave space between the mounds; they will spread in the oven. Bake on a low heat for 10-13 minutes until golden brown. As the cookies cool, they will harden, so remove them from the oven while they are still slightly soft. The spices give the cookies a wonderful aroma, reminiscent of speculaas (speculoos) and spiced mulled wine. They pair wonderfully with coffee and hot chocolate.
