Here's another recipe for our 'USA State Recipes Group'. AGAIN..it is NOT my recipe nor is it my pic...all credit goes to Karen. By: Karen Nacke "This recipe is from the Norwegian Embassy in Washington, D.C. Cookies and recipes were handed out at a cultural event that my family attended a few years ago. All Norwegian homes "must" serve at least 7 kinds of cookies at Christmas. This recipe is different from other pepperkaker recipes on this web site because it calls for cream and does not use eggs. So it's great for any who can't eat eggs. Enjoy!" P.S. If you are wary of a cookie containing pepper, don't be! These are unique and delicious.
