Kruukplaetjes are typical cookies for the South Holland island of Goeree-Overflakkee. They are still often sold at local bakeries and at fairs. The specific origin of the cookies is not entirely clear, but it is said that farmers' wives used to bake them for their farmers who were working in the fields. How appropriate that they are also baked at FarmCamps Op Flakkee. The name Kruukplaetjes probably comes from a combination of a corruption of 'kruud' - herbs and 'plaet' because the cookies were baked on the plate of a stove.
Farmer Annet likes to share her 'secret' recipe with you, so that you can enjoy these super tasty cookies not only on the farm, but also at home!
At FarmCamps, it’s all about being outdoors, cuddling the animals and enjoying time together. There’s always something happening on our farms, from milking cows to horse riding and roasting marshmallows by the campfire. See how much fun farm life can be!
