About the dish

Sandkaker or sandbakelse are traditional cookies originating from Norway. They're usually made with a combination of flour, butter, eggs, sugar, and blanched ground almonds. The butter and flour are mixed until crumbly, and the dough is finished with the addition of almonds, sugar, and eggs. The dough is placed in the fridge for about an hour before it's pressed into greased sandkaker molds. The cookies are baked until golden and they should be left to cool slightly before they're removed from the molds and enjoyed. Sandkaker are often prepared during the festive Christmas season.
