Actually, I like all kinds of Christmas cookies, but one of my favourites are:
Spekulatius [‘ʃpɘkula:t͜sius] - German Spice Cookies.
There are Gewürzspekulatius (spices), Mandelspekulatius (almond) and Butterspekulatius (butter). The Christmas cookies are originally from Germany - but maybe you also know them as Dutch Windmill Cookies, which can be bought all year long in countries like the Netherlands or Belgium.
Spekulatius (the name derives from Latin -> specula = mirrow) taste very “Christmassy”, because of the spices: cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, ginger and nutmeg.
