This is a very traditional and popular Swedish shortbread cookie. Their main feature is the fancy coating of pink sugar. They are easy to bake, crispy and buttery when you eat them, and the little colorful sugar coating makes the difference. I made my Brussels cookies a bit smaller, and then you can easily have [...]
We have a lot of different kind of Christmas candy and cookies we bake for Christmas in Scandinavia. I have already bake both Gingerbread and Saffron buns (3 times already!). This is an alternative to all the traditional Christmas candies, most often containing a higher amount of sugar. These Almond bites contain sugar and fat, [...]
When I talked to my mom on the phone the other day, she told me that she had just baked some "Hallonsnittar" or Raspberry cookies. I got really inspired and baked some myself. This is a traditional Swedish cookie, that my Grandma also baked very often. I found a blackberry jam at home, so this [...]
This mini muffin is baked without any white sugar and butter. I have replaced the white sugar with bananas. Therefore, I think we can call these muffins healthy muffins. Wouldn't you do that when you hear ingredients such as bananas, rolled oats, dark chocolate? 🙂 If you need a small little snack in the afternoon, [...]
Baking is part of the count down for Christmas. From what I have understood, this is part of most of our cultures in the world. I had my Danish friend over for Christmas preparation the other day and she taught me how to bake the best Danish Christmas cookies "Pebernødder". They remind me of the [...]
Gingerbread is a must for Christmas in Scandinavia. As a kid, I always baked gingerbreads at home with my siblings or my friends. This is a tradition I will give to my daughter, for her to also back her gingerbreads when she is old enough to help me in the kitchen. It's easy and convenient [...]
A traditional "fika" in Sweden includes many different options when it comes to pastry treats and cookies. The traditional way to serve coffee with sweets was to serve many different options so everyone could find at least something they liked. The magic number was seven, seven different cookies. That is also the title of one [...]
This Scandinavian cookie just melt on your tongue. It is called a dream and it must be because it feels like a dream when you eat it. So good! We use baker's ammonia instead of baking powder in these cookies. It is also the baker's ammonia that make them stay crispy and at the same [...]
This is one of my favourite cookies from Denmark. It's very simple but sooo delicious. It’s basically two pieces of sweet short crust pastry, baked, then layers with raspberry. Then it's topped with a nice layer of white icing and finished with some freeze dried raspberries. In every city, and almost in every area in every [...]
This reminds me a lot about my childhood and my grandma. She used to bake coconut macaroons (Kokostoppar) in our summer house. The lemon flavor gives a freshness and is a perfect combination to the coconut. These cookies are gluten free and sooo delicious. I decided to dip some of them in chocolate. 🙂 Ingredients [...]
