I stayed up making some Norwegian Easter cookies last night and am I ever glad I did, they're pretty darn tasty! Pam over at Gingerbread Snowflakes has been doing a ton of Easter posts, and these were one of them.
The ingredients are pretty much like a shortbread but brushed with egg and topped with sugar. Unfortunately, I did not have any pearl sugar on hand so I just used some plain sugar and a little colored sugar too.
Yuuuummmm!
Norwegian Easter Cookies
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
4 cups flour
3 sticks butter
1 teaspoon baking powder
pearl sugar to top (or colored sugar)
Mix together sugar and butter, add 1 egg (only 1 of the 2!). Sift the flour and baking powder together and slowly add to the mixture. You're supposed to refrigerate them...but I didn't. Shape dough into little balls and make indentations with your thumbs. Brush with the 2nd beaten egg and sprinkle sugar on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 - 15 minutes.
Happy Easter everyone!
Happy Easter Kathryn!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear you made the cookies. They have almost instantly become one of my top three favorite cookies of all time.
And believe it - they get even better as they sit in the cookie jar. There must be Norwegian magic baked in. I am really glad now that the recipe makes so many.
Will definitely try this recipe! Sounds tasty and soooo cute!
