An IJzerkoekje ((:ˈɛizərˌkukjə), ''iron cookie'') is a very specific 'soft' cookie, traditionally eaten by Dutch fishermen, especially in Vlaardingen, one of the main harbours of the Netherlands during the 19th and 20th century. It is an oval cookie over half an inch thick with a cinnamon 'creamy' taste. The cookies were invented in the city of Vlaardingen and are baked on a checkered iron plate, creating a characteristic pattern. == Origin == According to oral history, it was the grocer "Daatje de Koe" (1838-1915) who made the first Vlaardingse iron cookies. Afterwards the product was introduced in the assortment of various city bakers. Research of the Vlaardingen baker Hazenberg in regional archives showed that the cookie is probably older and dates from the 18th century.〔Frank Hazenberg (2013) ''Vlaardingse IJzerkoekjes'', no 25 of the publication serie ''Van ’t Oft naar ’t Ooft'', published by the Jan Anderson Streekmuseum, Vlaardingen.〕 Because of the composition of the dough the cookies remain tasty for a long time. This made them popular amongst fishermen. These cookies also have a high food energy (calories) value, and have been taken to the sea for that reason, too. Today, most pastry shops in Vlaardingen sell iron cookies. There are also special Waffle irons available as well as "iron-cookie flour" for baking the cookies at home. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「IJzerkoekje」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
