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

Yield 125 cookies, 125 serving(s)

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.

These cookies were a waste of time and ingredients. They didn't turn out at all like the picture.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out too dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The cardamom flavor was a bit too strong for me, but I still liked the cookies.

These Finnish cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still enjoyable.

I'm not usually a fan of cardamom, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The flavor is not overpowering at all.

These Finnish cookies are a delightful treat! They have a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior. The cardamom flavor is subtle but adds a nice touch of warmth.
