Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups salted butter (softened (3 sticks))
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3 eggs (divided)
1/4 cup almonds (sliced or finely chopped)

Steps:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line one or two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together softened butter (1.5 cups), baking powder (1/2 teaspoon), kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon), and flour (4 cups) with an electric hand mixer until well blended and the texture resembles coarse sand.
Add the sugar (1.5 cups) and mix until well combined.
Add the vanilla extract (2 teaspoons) and almond extract (1/2 teaspoon) and two of the eggs, then mix until well combined.
Using a small cookie scoop, measure out equal portions of the dough and roll into balls. Place on baking sheet and, using your thumb, press on the center of each ball to create a small indentation (if you find that the dough is too sticky, keep a small bowl of water next to you to dip your thumb into every so often).
Beat remaining egg in a small bowl and brush the tops and sides of each indented cookie with the egg. Sprinkle with the almonds.
Bake for 16 minutes, or until cookies are only JUST beginning to brown.

9 CLASSIC NORWEGIAN DESSERTS - THESPRUCEEATS.COM

From thespruceeats.com

Julekake (Norwegian Christmas Bread) Unlike traditional British fruitcake, which is often made weeks in advance of Christmas Eve, this Norwegian holiday bread can be made in a single afternoon.
Fattigman. Fattigman are fried quickly in hot oil, instead of baked on an elegant cookie iron as are other cookies from the region. Make no mistake, these diamond-shaped cookies are deliciously sweet and full of special ingredients, including superfine sugar, heavy cream, and optional cognac or brandy.
Norwegian Krumkake Cookies. Norwegian krumkake (pronounced kroom-ka-ka) are fragile, sugary, rolled waffle cookies traditionally enjoyed in Norway at holiday time.
Kransekake (Norwegian Ring Cake) Ring cake, or kransekaka, is the signature, splendid, tall flourless cake of Norway enjoyed at all types of celebrations, from weddings to baby showers.
Skolebrød (Norwegian School Bread Dessert) Norwegian school bread is more like a filled donut than a bread, which explains its popularity as a lunchbox treat for Scandinavian children.
Berlinerkranser (Norwegian Butter Cookies) Despite the fact that the name "Berlinerkranser" means Berlin wreaths, these heavenly butter cookies are a beloved Norwegian treat that are ideal for holiday gifting.
Scandinavian Almond Cake. Bake this popular Scandinavian-American cake for potluck parties, holiday dessert swaps, or when hosting friends for brunch. It is easy to bake in a loaf pan or cake pan, and uses common baking ingredients, with almond extract adding a wonderful fragrance.
Scandinavian Rosette Cookies. You don't have to be Norwegian to enjoy these delicate, crispy, fried-in-oil, vanilla-scented rosette cookies. All you need are a few basic baking ingredients, a rosette iron, and the patience to learn how to use it to make this traditional favorite holiday treat.
Scandinavian Sweet Soup. Sweet soups made with dried fruits, tapioca, and warming spices are popular across Scandinavia, where they are served warm in winter, and chilled in summer.
