Finnish Rauma Cookies (Rauman Piparkakut - Finland) image

This is from "Best of Finnish Cooking", a cookbook by which the author is passing on Finnish cooking heritage to her sons. I haven't tried it yet. It differs from the other piparkakut recipes in that it doesn't use corn syrup. I think the sour cream in this one takes the place of it.

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted (or margarine)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon brandy
2 cups flour
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs, sifted (or cookie crumbs)
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 teaspoons baking powder

Steps:

  • Beat eggs with the sugar until light. Stif in melted butter, sour cream and brandy.
  • In another bowl, sift together the flour, cookie crumbs, soda, baking powder and spices.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I had to substitute almond flour for the regular flour. The cookies still turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and crumbly. I'm going to try again soon, though, because I really want to get it right.

I had a hard time finding cardamom at my local grocery store, but it was worth the effort. These cookies are amazing!

These cookies were a little too dry for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference.
