I'm in 8th grade, and had to make a dish from my cultural backround. I made this, and everyone loved them. I brought 60, and there wern't any left after class. They are easy to make, and taste awesome. Add whipped cream, and they are even better! five stars

Would make this again.
These are not quite the cookies my Grandma used to bake but they are very close. Unfortunately I was never interested in learning how to make the cookies my Norwegian grandmother used to bake until after her death. Since all of her recipes were written in Norwegian I thought the cookies I loved as a child were lost to me forever. Over the years I have tried many recipes for the cookies she made and have always been disappointed. This time the consistency was right and the taste was almost what I remembered. The only thing missing from these cookies was my Grandma's loving touch. Thanks for giving me back a wonderful holiday tradition. And as they say in Norwegian "Glad Jul!" (Merry Christmas) five stars
