NORWEGIAN BUTTER COOKIES

Enjoy these traditional Norwegian butter cookies at Christmas as a treat for family and friends. They're quick to make, and taste delicious

Provided by Good Food team

Time 27m

Yield Makes about 40

Number Of Ingredients 7

300g plain flour, sifted
1 tbsp baking powder
200g cold butter, cut into cubes
125g icing sugar, plus 2 tbsp
2 tsp vanilla-infused sugar or golden caster sugar
1 egg, plus 1 lightly beaten egg white for brushing
pearl sugar, or flaked or chopped almonds, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Mix the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt together. Add the butter and rub in with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in all the icing sugar and the vanilla sugar, then add the whole egg and mix until just combined, but be careful not to overmix.
  • Transfer the dough to a food bag and put in the fridge to chill for about 1 hr.
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Roll the chilled dough into about 40 even balls (around 15g each). Arrange the dough balls over two baking sheets lined with baking parchment, leaving space between each for spreading. Using the back of a fork, press the balls down gently in the middle, so they spread to a diameter of about 3cm (they will spread more as they bake). If you prefer flat cookies, use the bottom of a glass.
  • Brush the cookies with the beaten egg white and sprinkle over the pearl sugar or almonds. Bake for 10 mins, or until just cooked through (the cookies should not be fully browned, just lightly golden at the edges). Remove from the oven and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

NORWEGIAN CROWNS



Norwegian Crowns image

Adapted from The Cookie Book, edited by Ruth Berolzheimer, 1949. I haven't tried these, but they seem to be a good way to use up egg yolks, both hard boiled, and raw. BTW, you can freeze any raw egg white in freezer safe containers as is, just defrost in the fridge overnight to use in meringues or angelfood cake. I would not advise freezing cooked egg white. Feel free to halve the recipe if that is more convenient for you. 1 1/2 cups butter equals 12 oz. I am not sure of the preparation time, but have excluded the time for boiling the eggs. The cooking time is for one batch.

Time 48m

Yield 72 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 hard-cooked egg yolks
6 egg yolks, uncooked
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups butter, softened but not melted
3 cups flour
1 egg white, slightly beaten
coarse sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Press the hard cooked egg yolks through a sieve, into a mixing bowl.
  • Add the sugar, salt and uncooked egg yolks, and beat thoroughly with mixer.
  • Add the butter and flour alternately in small amounts, mixing in after each addition.
  • Cover and chill until stiff.
  • Roll the dough into ropes 1/4 inch in diameter and 5 inches long.
  • Form rings by crossing the ends and pressing slightly.
  • Dip, first into egg white, and then into the sugar, and place on cookie sheets with some space between them (the book does not say whether to grease the sheets or not, but I would do so, if not using silpat or parchment).
  • Bake at 400 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes, but check slightly earlier to make sure they aren't browning too fast.
  • Remove from sheets and cool on racks.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your cookies. Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and good-quality chocolate chips.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps to firm it up and prevents the cookies from spreading too much in the oven. This will result in a thicker, chewier cookie.
  • Use a cookie scoop to measure out the dough: This will help to ensure that all of your cookies are the same size and shape, which will help them bake evenly.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges, but the centers should still be soft and gooey. If you overbake the cookies, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to set properly.

Conclusion:

Norske Kroner cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite toppings. Whether you enjoy them plain, with a dusting of powdered sugar, or topped with chocolate chips or nuts, these cookies are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give Norske Kroner cookies a try!
