 Here is another family favorite Christmas cookie. My husband is especially fond of these.

Norwegian Christmas bread (Julebrød)

This cardamom raisin bread is a must have for me at Christmas time. Here in the States it is also commonly known as Julekake, but for me it is simply called Julebrød which translates to Christmas bread.
