Arnhemse meisjes
Arnhemse meisjes are crisp, thin puff pastry cookies, coated in a fragrant mix of vanilla sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and lime zest. The trick is rolling the pastry incredibly thin and letting the cut shapes rest before baking, which helps them achieve an extra-crisp texture. As they bake, the sugary coating caramelizes to a beautiful golden brown.
