NORWEGIAN BUTTER COOKIES (SERINAKAKER)

Steps:

• Mix the dry ingredients including flour, powdered sugar, vanilla sugar baking powder, and salt.
• Chop the cold butter into cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Crumble the mixture with your hands (or a stand mixer) until it forms small crumbs, like coarse sand.
• Beat the egg in a separate bowl for about 30 seconds, and then add it to the butter/flour mixture. Mix until the dough comes together, but don't overwork.
• Roll the dough into a log, wrap and place in the fridge for about an hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350.
• Remove from the refrigerator, slice off small sections of dough and roll them into small balls in your hands (about 1 1/4 inches in diameter).
• Place the dough balls on a prepared cookie sheet and flatten with a fork, the bottom of a glass or your palm.
• Brush with egg white and sprinkle pearl sugar or slivered almonds on top.
• Bake in a 350-degree oven for about 10 minutes, until the bottom is very slightly brown. Do not over bake.
