10/8/2010: "The Windmill and Sinterklaus cookie molds arrived, and I must say they were better than the pictures, most impressive.
I used the recipe for Speculaas, and following the instructions I got quite good at tapping out the molded cookies.
They were a great hit." - P. Vandyke, VA

Gene had collected antique butter molds in the '60s but a Dutch speculaasplank was the first cookie mold he purchased [1970's]. The Wilson family first visited a Dutch street vendor and carver of speculaas molds in Amsterdam in 1975. At that time the carver said there were 60-70 such carvers of cookie molds in the Netherlands - today, very few.

The individual fragrant cookies are called speculaasjes. The Dutch word "speculaas" comes from speculum (mirror). The cookies are associated with the Dutch feast of Sinterklaas and are a favorite German, Belgian and Dutch cookie, especially at Christmas.

13 Oct '10: "I am getting ready for my 4th year of making Speculaas. The boards I purchased from you are great, and the tricks you provided in the booklet are a lifesaver - following instructions has allowed me to produce perfectly molded cookies right from the start! Your molds are so much better than anything I see in the shops." Cassandra
