No cookies have caussed so much distress - the dough has several times ended up in the garbage can. To add more flour to "make the dough behave" is no resolution. I have - at last - found a way ; caution in measureing - and rolling out the dough on an ice-cold bench in front of an open kitchen window. Then it's possible to from the cookies - and they'll be "light as a feather". (........and it's my husband's favourite Christmas cookies)

Whip egg and sugar into a light cream. Add
almond (essence) and knead alternately with flour and baking powder.
It could be smart to brush the small cake-tins with melted butter.
Cover the bottom and sides of the cake-tins with dough. (they're
easier to get out if not too thin) Bake in oven on medium heath for
approx. 10 minutes. (well done, crispy and light brown) Do not try to
remove the tin until the cookies are completely cold. Sandcakes can also be filled with a little bit of fruit or jam - and some whipped cream on top.

3
egg yolks |
Beat together egg yolks, sugar and cream. Add cardamom to flour and sift half of the flour, a little at a time, into the egg mixture and mix well. Put the remainder of the flour on counter and place dough on top. Roll dough out to a tick flap, and spread butter in thin layers across the dough. Fold over and roll once more. Roll up and chill for 24 hours. Roll out thin. Cut a cardboard template the size of goro iron; trace and cut cookies from the pattern. Bake in hot, ungreased goro iron until a light golden color. Wipe fat off as it trickles out. Remove from iron with a spatula onto a cutting obard. Cut off the frayed edges and cut apart while still hot. Cool completely. May be frozen. Makes about 12 dozen. |

SJAKKRUTER (family favourite) |
||||||||||||
|
14 ounce butter 5,2 ounce sugar 21 ounce flour 3 tablespoons coco powder 1½ tsp. vanilla sugar |
Place flour on the table with sugar and butter on top. "Cut" together and knead until the dough is smooth. Divide into 2 pieces and add vanilla sugar to one, coco powder to the other. Divide both doughs into two parts and roll out as 4 sausages. Place one dark and one light side by side, and the other two on top ; light on dark and vice versa. Put the dough away in a cold place for some hours. Cut thin slices and place on a prepared baking plate. Bake in oven - high temperature - for 8-10 minutes. (The light parts should still be light)
Perfect to go along with a huge glass of milk and an exciting book ! |
