Krumkaker

The Krumkake is the quintessential Norwegian Christmas cookie.

German Slices (Tyske Skiver)/ Almond Shortbread cookies

Sorry about the long title.

Norwegian Gingerbread Cookies

For me gingerbread cookies are a must for Christmas.

Lussekatter (Swedish Saffron Buns)

On December 13 Norwegians celebrate Lucia day. It is a celebration imported from Sweden.

Triple Chocolate Crinkle Cookies (Gluten-free)

Now how is that for a title? It is a real tongue twister for sure. Try saying it five times fast!

Caramel Pudding (Creme Caramel)

Caramel pudding (Karamellpudding) is a dessert that brings back childhood memories of holiday suppers at my grandmothers house.

Peppermint Bark

Peppermint bark has become a staple around here for the holidays.

Despite their name these pretty  butter cookie wreaths are among the most traditional of the Norwegian Christmas cookies.

Raspberry Almond Cookies

I made these lovely short bread cookies last Christmas after most of my traditional cookies had mostly disappeared.

Starbucks Gingerbread Loaf

I love the sweet breads they serve at Starbucks. The lemon bread and the pumpkin bread, but most of all the gingerbread loaf.

This has been my trusted Cranberry sauce recipe since my first Thanksgiving celebration in the US.

Chocolate-Dipped Coconut Macaroons (GF)

 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.
