Four Famous Ethnic Cookies Learn to create the rolled Norwegian cookies, Krumkakes, made with cream, butter and cinnamon or sometimes flavored with vanilla. For generations, Minnesotans have purchased their irons to bake Krumkakes from local manufacturer Nordic Ware in St. Louis Park. Italian Pizzelles are also baked on top of the stove using an iron, but are flat, anise-flavored cookie or they may also be flavored with vanilla. The chewy, Swedish Sandbakkelse are delicate golden brown in color and are baked in tiny tins to resemble tarts. Finally, we will master deep-fried Rosettes - those exceedingly fragile, paper thin Scandinavian delicacies dusted with confectioners' sugar. Expect great recipes plus the many tips and techniques that will make your baking a success! Please bring containers to bring your creations safely home.
