Stroopwafels & Windmill Cookies
Stroopwafels & Windmill Cookies: Authentic Dutch Treats
Two of Holland's most loved exports in one place. The stroopwafel — two thin waffle layers pressed around a caramel-syrup filling, best warmed over a hot drink — alongside spiced windmill cookies (speculaas), the crisp, cinnamon-scented biscuits shaped like Dutch windmills. Imported and shipped fresh from our New Jersey warehouse.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you eat a stroopwafel?
The classic way is to rest it over a hot cup of coffee or tea for about a minute. The steam warms the waffle and softens the caramel filling inside, so it turns gooey and pliable. It's just as good straight from the pack, but the over-the-mug ritual is part of the Dutch experience.
What are windmill cookies?
Windmill cookies are the American name for Dutch speculaas — thin, crisp biscuits spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and ginger, traditionally pressed into carved wooden moulds that give them their windmill shape. They're a fixture of the Dutch Sinterklaas season.
Are stroopwafels and windmill cookies the same thing?
No — they're two different Dutch treats. A stroopwafel is a soft, caramel-filled waffle cookie, best warmed over a hot drink. Windmill cookies (speculaas) are crisp, dry, spiced biscuits. Both are Dutch classics, which is why you'll often find them side by side.
