Hi Oma... you are so very welcome. My father's side were Norwegian and I'm trying to locate whatever recipes I have.


I love cardamon, and use it in my krumkake, too - will definitely be adding this cookie to the holiday list!


These look really good! I'll add some of these to the holiday cookie trays!


I believe it is the cardamom that gives it that Norwegian taste ;-)


Thank you this recipe looks so good!
