NORWEGIAN BUTTER COOKIES (SPRITZ)



Norwegian Butter Cookies (Spritz) image

According to my dad, after many other recipies were tested, this is the closest to his grandmother's Norwegian Butter Cookie recipe that he remembers from every Christmas growing up. His family is from the Chicago area, with a very large Norwegian/Swedish population.This recipe is adapted from Gourmet magazine. Many use a cookie press when doing this; dad said Greatgrandma always rolled the cookies into balls and flattened them with the bottom of a jelly glass, then decorated with colored sugars, so that's what I do. Sometimes I cross-hatch with a fork to better hold the sugar.

Time 30m

Yield 6 dozen, 72 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups butter, softened (3 sticks)
1 cup sugar (we've used Splenda with good results, too)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
colored sugar sprinkle (for decorating)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F In a large bowl cream the butter, beat in the sugar, a little at a time, the vanilla, and the almond extract, and beat the mixture until it is light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and combine the mixture well.
  • Add the flour mixture and combine the dough well.
  • Form the dough into walnut-size balls and arrange the balls 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Either flatten with the bottom of a glass or take a fork and using the back flatten the balls to approximately 1/2 inch to 1/3 inch thick, making a crosshatch design (like you see on peanut butter cookies). Sprinkle with colored sugar.
  • Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are barely golden around the edges, and transfer them with a spatula to racks to cool. Store the cookies in airtight containers.

Enjoy these traditional Norwegian butter cookies at Christmas as a treat for family and friends. They're quick to make, and taste delicious

Provided by Good Food team

Time 27m

Yield Makes about 40

Number Of Ingredients 7

300g plain flour, sifted
1 tbsp baking powder
200g cold butter, cut into cubes
125g icing sugar, plus 2 tbsp
2 tsp vanilla-infused sugar or golden caster sugar
1 egg, plus 1 lightly beaten egg white for brushing
pearl sugar, or flaked or chopped almonds, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Mix the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt together. Add the butter and rub in with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in all the icing sugar and the vanilla sugar, then add the whole egg and mix until just combined, but be careful not to overmix.
  • Transfer the dough to a food bag and put in the fridge to chill for about 1 hr.
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Roll the chilled dough into about 40 even balls (around 15g each). Arrange the dough balls over two baking sheets lined with baking parchment, leaving space between each for spreading. Using the back of a fork, press the balls down gently in the middle, so they spread to a diameter of about 3cm (they will spread more as they bake). If you prefer flat cookies, use the bottom of a glass.
  • Brush the cookies with the beaten egg white and sprinkle over the pearl sugar or almonds. Bake for 10 mins, or until just cooked through (the cookies should not be fully browned, just lightly golden at the edges). Remove from the oven and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
