Enjoy creating new baking traditions by trying some of the new recipes I’ve included in these pages. In this book I have gathered my very best recipes. Within sections such as Classic Christmas Cookies; Winterpies, Cheesecakes, and Tarts; Cakes and Muffins; and Wheatbread and Buns you will find any tasty sweet imaginable. Whether you are interested more in traditional holiday recipes or in something more modern; I am convinced that you will find some favorites of your own in this book. It’s time to go ahead and get baking! Good Luck! CRISPY SYRUP COOKIES Syrup cookies, or caramel crisps, are some of the absolute best cookies in existence. They may look a little modest, but with their crispy outer crust and sticky, caramel-like core they are simply irresistible. If you want, try adding a tablespoon of cocoa or some ground almonds to the dough. ABOUT 40 COOKIES 200 gs / 1 sticks butter (room temperature) 2 dl / 1 cup sugar 1 ½ dl / cup light corn syrup 1 egg yolk 5 dl / 2 ½ cups white all-purpose flour 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp baking powder Whisk butter, sugar, corn syrup, and egg yolk together, preferably with an electric mixer. Mix and add flour, vanilla sugar, and baking powder. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Set the oven to 175 C / 350 F degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Split the dough into four equal parts and roll them out on the two baking sheets so that they stretch from one end to the other lengthwise. Flatten them lightly with your hand. Bake for 15 minutes and cut into pieces while still hot. Let the cookies cool on the sheet. Store them in a tin with a lid. Tip! Feel free to vary the pastries by adding different flavors. You can try to add lime zest from 1 lime or 2 tbsp of cocoa to the dough. Or you may add a walnut to each pastry before you bake them. If you like cinnamon, you could sprinkle a mixture of ½ dl / ¼ cup sugar and 1 tbsp cinnamon on top before they bake.
