Description
"These crispy, thin cookies are Norway's answer to the gingerbread-style cookie (see Gingerbread, page 328). Instead of various shapes (which you can make them into if you want) these cookies are cut into diamonds or a 'snipp,' a shape that looks like a shirt's collar points. They are traditionally topped with a half a blanched almond in the center.Like other Nordic gingerbreads, these sirupsnipper are made with mørk sirup (see Molasses and Sugar Syrups, page 307), the caramelized sugar syrup that's like molasses but not as bitter. The two spices consistent across recipes for sirupsnipper are black pepper and ginger, with varying amounts of added cinnamon and cloves."Excerpted with permission from Crumbs: Cookies and Sweets from Around the World by Ben Mims. ©2024.
