1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
nutmeg to taste
additional butter, melted
Cream together first four ingredients. Sift dry ingredients together and add to cream mixture. Chill overnite. Roll to pencil size and form pretzel shapes. Bake 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees. Baste with butter after removing from oven.
Note: I've used my Norwegian Grandmother's recipe for years and thought you might like to try this. My grandmother baked these for Christmas and loved to dunk them in her coffee - I have continued the tradition

Would make this again.
The baker who commented on 11/21/07 probably rolled her cookies too large. I've made this recipe for a couple years now and, if I remember correctly, it makes about 2 1/2 dozen per batch. I have to make at least a double batch to accommodate everyone! This is a very popular cookie and great for dipping in your coffee.

Would make this again.
This batch was great but only made 15 cookies. Is that correct or what did I do wrong.
