| Norwegian Cookies
Baking is a big part of Christmas preparations for those of Norwegian background. This modern version uses chocolate chips.
1 1/3 cup of sugar
1 cup + 2 tablespoons of margarine or butter, softened
1 teaspoon of vanilla
2 eggs
3 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
one 12 ounce package of milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips (2 c.)
3 tablespoons of sugar
3/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon |
|
Heat oven to 350ºF. Beat 1 1/2 cups sugar, the margarine, vanilla and eggs in large bowl. Stir in flour, baking powder and chocolate chips. Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Shape each part dough on lightly floured surface into roll, 1 inch in diameter and about 15 inches long.
Place rolls on ungreased cookie sheets; flatten slightly with fork to about 5/8-inch thickness. Mix 3 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon; sprinkle over rolls.
Bake 13 to 15minutes or until light brown on edges. Slice diagonally into about 1-inch strips while warm. About 5 dozen cookies. Served with coffee, of course - or cold milk. |
