Equipment

  • Oven
  • Cooking pan

Ingredients

  • 100 gram Brown Sugar
  • 100 gram Dutch Stroop
  • 100 gram Butter
  • 2 tbsp Milk
  • 1 tsp Ginger Powder
  • ½ Orange
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 250 gram Flour
  • 100 gram Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Water
  • 100 gram Nuts

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven on 170 degrees Celsius or 338 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Chop the nuts in smaller pieces.

Baking the Cookies

  • Add the sugar, stroop, butter and milk to a cooking pan. Bring this to the boil. Once the sugar is dissolved in the mixture, turn off the heat.
  • Add the ginger powder, grated orange peel, baking powder and flour. Mix until you have a firm cookie dough.
  • Divide the cookie dough on the baking sheet and bake them for 10-15 minutes. 
  • Whenever the cookie is brown and done, take it out of the oven. Just make sure that you directly cut the cookie in squares. This needs to be done when the cookie is still hot.

Decorating

  • Add the sugar and water to a cooking pan, and bring to a boil. Then turn the heat to a low-medium. Make sure you don’t stir in the mixture. It is ready when the mixture is around 160 degrees celsius or 320 degrees Fahrenheit. You can test this by dipping a clean spoon in the sugar mixture and then cool the spoon in ice cold water. When the syrup turns into hard caramel, the syrup is ready.
  • Dip a third of the cookie in the caramel and add the chopped nuts. Be careful, the caramel is very hot!
  • Let the cookies cool down before consuming.
