Finnish Cookies / Danish Finsk Broed image

These cookies are very delicate and melt in your mouth. The name is a bid odd, it is a Danish cookie but directly translated called 'Finnish Bread'. The dough needs to rest for at least one hour which is not included in the prep time. Note - The dough can be frozen for easy planning UPDATE: After Mersaydees review I would like to add that whole raw alminds can be easily skinned/blanched if placed in very hot water for 2 min. This loosens the skin and make it pop off without effort

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (375 g)
1/2 cup sugar (85 g)

  • Meanwhile - chop the almonds roughly and mix them with 1 tbsp sugar.
  • Whip one egg.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these cookies turned out really bland.

These cookies were a disaster! They spread out too much in the oven and they were burnt.

I thought these cookies were just okay. They were a bit dry and crumbly.
