Arnhemse meisjes (lit. girls from Arnhem) are traditional Dutch cookies originating from the city of Arnhem. These crispy and buttery cookies are made with butter, flour, yeast, salt, sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. The dough is pressed into oval discs over coarse sugar, and they are then baked in the oven until golden and slightly puffy.

It is recommended to serve them with a cup of coffee or tea. The cookies were first made in 1829 by a baker named Hagdorn, who wanted to invent a new cookie for festive events. Interestingly, Arnhemse meisjes were one of the favorite cookies of Roald Dahl, the famous writer.
