Title: Kanelkakor (Cinnamon Cookies)
Categories: Scandinavia, Cookies
Yield: 4 Dozen
7 oz Butter
1/3 c Sugar
2 ts Cinnamon
1 Egg yolk
1 3/4 c Flour
Mixture of:
2 tb Sugar and
1 ts Cinnamon
Stir fat and sugar until light and fluffy. Add cinnamon and egg
yolk. Stir in the flour and quickly work to a dough. Leave in the
fridge or some other cold place for about 1 hour.
Grease the baking plates - you will need 2 plates for 1 batch
cookies. Heat the oven to 350 F. Take out the dough and part
in two, then shape each part to an even-sized "sausage". Cut the
sausage in even-sized pieces and shape into small round balls,
barely the size of a walnut. Roll them in the sugar-cinnamon
mixture and put them on the baking plates. Use a fork to create a
square pattern on the cookies.
Bake for about 10 minutes or until nicely colored and done. Leave
them on the plates for a few minutes before loosening them. Put
them on a rack to cool. Enjoy!
