What is joden koeken?

Jodenkoeken are a type of cookie that originated in the Netherlands. They are also known as "Jewish cookies" or "Jewish biscuits." The cookies are made with flour, sugar, eggs, and butter, and they have a crispy texture. Some variations also include almond paste or lemon zest. The origin of the name is not well-documented; some sources suggest that it was a positive marketing term used to sell the cookies to Jewish customers. Others suggest that the name comes from the shiny surface of the cookies, which resembles the traditional black hats worn by Orthodox Jewish men. Jodenkoeken are a popular snack in the Netherlands and are often served with tea or coffee.
