Old fashioned Scandanavian cookies that use baker's ammonia for the leavening. Baker's ammonia can be purchased at most grocery and baker's supply shops, and cause the cookies to reek to high Heaven in the oven. Read more Once cooked, though, they are all vanilla and peppermint. See less

- Beat in the egg, sour cream, peppermint extract, vanilla and salt.
