Time 1h30m

Yield About 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup lightly salted butter, softened
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups sifted flour
1/3 cup finely chopped blanched almonds
1 egg white, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cream together the butter, 1/4 cup of the sugar and almond extract. Stir in the flour. Chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Place the dough between 2 large sheets of plastic wrap. Use a rolling pin to roll into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into strips 2 1/2 inches long and 3/4 inch wide.
  • Combine the remaining tablespoon of sugar with the almonds. Use a pastry brush to coat the top of the cookies with egg white. Sprinkle with the almond and sugar mixture. Carefully transfer cookies to an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake to a delicate brown, 17 to 20 minutes.
  • Transfer cookies to a rack to cool. Cookies can be frozen in an airtight container, with wax paper between each layer for up to 6 months. Defrost 30 minutes before serving.

These Finnish almond cakes were a bit dry, but the flavor was good.

The Karelian pasties were a bit too oily for my taste, but the filling was flavorful.

I've never had Finnish pancakes before, but these were a hit with my family! They were light and fluffy, and the lingonberry jam was the perfect topping.

This Finnish Runeberg torte was absolutely delicious! The almond and rum flavors were perfectly balanced, and the texture was moist and fluffy. I will definitely be making this again.
