Shaped, molded and pressed cookies
Sugar Pretzels
These not-too-sweet cookies are shaped like the classic pretzel. Use a bit of coarse sugar to mimic pretzel salt.
Dutch Spice Cookies (Speculaas)
In Holland, speculaas often are molded into the shapes of windmills, people, or St. Nick figures. Similar cookies are popular in Belgium and Germany.
Flutes Dipped in Chocolate
Molding the hot cookies around a pencil creates tube- or flute-shaped cookies.
Almond Tuiles
Tuiles, or “tiles,” so named because of their resemblance to roof tiles, are a classic cookie of France. These lacy, orange-scented tuiles are tempting on their own, but also good with custard or ice cream.
