Kruidnoten are small, round, cookie-like confectioneries with a crispy texture, traditionally associated with the early December Sinterklaas festivities in the Netherlands.
The term kruidnoten is often confused with pepernoten. Kruidnoten, which translates to "gingerbread buttons" in English, are harder, have a different colour and shape, and are made with the same ingredients as speculaas.
