Matt's recipe above, and those to follow in this section are from last year's 4-H fair, where he  
received a perfect Blue Ribbon score for his cookies and for his display of a Norwegian table  
setting for a holiday meal. He even did a menu up in Norwegian and learned a few phrases for  
his interview with the cooking judges. His Grampa Stanley would have been proud, I know his  
Dad and Mom were.  
Kringla  
Olive Jacobson--recipe from her mom, Gladys Nelson  
1
1
1
1
cup sugar  
cup cream  
½ cups buttermilk  
teaspoon baking powder  
dash salt  
1 teaspoon soda  
1 teaspoon anise seed  
5 cups flour  
Mix all ingredients well. Take a small portion of dough and roll into a finger size. Form into a  
pretzel shape and bake on cookie sheet. Can be served warm with butter. This recipe is from  
Mom, Gladys Nelson. She didn't have an oven temp. I would guess about 350º. She would  
say bake until done.

1
1
2 egg yolks  
egg whites  
2 tablespoons sweet cream  
2 tablespoons sugar  
1 teaspoon ground cardamom  
½ teaspoon salt  
½ jigger of brandy  
Flour to make stiff dough  
Powdered sugar  
½
cup butter, melted  
Beat the egg yolks, add whites and then sugar; beat well. Add the cream, cardamom, and salt.  
Add melted butter. Add enough flour to make dough stiff enough to handle. Chill overnight  
(makes dough easier to work with). Roll out VERY THIN. Cut into diamond shaped pieces;  
cut a small slit in center lengthwise. Pull one end through the hole. Fry in deep fat until very  
light brown. Dust with powdered sugar. I cut the recipe in half.  
Sandbakelser  
Joyce Mueller  
1
teaspoon vanilla  
¾ cup sugar  
1
¾
teaspoon almond extract  
cup soft butter (do not use margarine)  
1 small egg white, unbeaten  
1 ¾ cups flour  
Mix vanilla, almond, butter, sugar and egg whites well. Stir in flour. Chill dough until stiff.  
Press into tins in a thin layer. Bake on a cookie sheet at 350º for 12-15 minutes. Do not  
let them get brown. Allow to cool in tins for a minute, then tap out onto a towel to cool  
completely. Eat any you break immediately. Everyone helps make these cookies for  
Christmas at our house.
