Norwegian Fattigmann Christmas Cookies Norwegian Fattigmann Cookies What's that? Oh, they are yummy, traditional Norwegian Christmas cookies that Julenissen love to eat.
Ingredients: 5 egg yolks 5 tablespoons sugar 5 tablespoons heavy cream 1 tablespoon cognac Half of 1/8 teaspoon (or less) cardamom 1 egg white 3 to 3-1/2 cups flour (300 til 350 gram) Oil for deep frying. Preparation:
Method:
If you don’t have the tool needed you can use a knife to cut out diamond-shaped cookies 2” x 3”, and make a slit in the middle with a knife, and pull one point of the dough through the slit to create the traditional fattigmann cookie shape. But, the “Bakstespore” will make it a lot easier to make these cookies because you roll a straight line over the rolled-out dough and you will cut out many cookies with each stroke. The edges of the cookie should be scalloped* (see picture), to obtain the right look, but a straight line will be fine if you don’t have the tool. Use a deep fryer for making these cookies or you can use a heavy cooking pot filled with oil. Heat oil and drop the fattigmann cookies carefully into the oil and fry until light golden in color. Place the finished cookies on a tray covered with double paper towels to drain off excess fat. Dust them with powdered sugar/confectioners sugar and cool. When completely cooled, store fattigman in an airtight container lined with parchment paper. Enjoy! All Rights Reserved
