Taai-taai is a popular Dutch cookie with a hard, chewy texture. It consists of flour, sugar, baking powder, and eggs. The cookies are traditionally flavored with aniseed and honey. These treats are especially popular during the festive Sinterklaas season, when they are shaped into hearts, animals, or Sinterklaas himself.
