About the dish

Shortcrust cookies with almonds and jam from the baking chapter of Stor kokebok (1914). The cookies are folded in from three sides so the filling is visible in the middle — a classic triangular cookie.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Mix the dry ingredients

    Mix the sifted flour and sugar, and add the blanched, ground almonds.

  2. 2

    Make the dough

    Mix in the egg and the cold butter and work quickly together into a dough.

  3. 3

    Roll and cut out

    Roll the dough out and cut out round cookies with a cutter or a glass.

  4. 4

    Fill and fold

    Place a little jam in the center of each cookie and fold the edge in from three sides.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Place the cookies on a greased tray and bake them at low heat, about 160–170 °C (340 °F), for about 15 minutes.

Changes from the original

The amounts have been converted to grams, "kjevles" is modernized to rolled out, and an oven temperature (about 160–170 °C (340 °F)) has been added for "low heat."
