Statue of Abel Tasman

Kletskoppen (almond cookies)

Pepernoten (Gingernuts)

ingredients:

50g butter, melted

150g soft brown sugar

75g flour

¼ tsp cinnamon

50g almonds, chopped

About ½ tbsp water

method:

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).

Mix everything together to a smooth dough. Take little lumps of dough, roll into a ball, flatten them and place on a lined baking sheet. Place them well apart because they will spread (at least, they are supposed to).

Bake for about 10-15 minutes, watching them closely. They should spread to lacy thin cookies, but be careful they don’t burn.

Remove from the oven and leave for a minute to harden slightly, then remove with a spatula to a rack and leave to cool completely.
