Finnish Rauma Cookies (Rauman Piparkakut - Finland) image

This is from "Best of Finnish Cooking", a cookbook by which the author is passing on Finnish cooking heritage to her sons. I haven't tried it yet. It differs from the other piparkakut recipes in that it doesn't use corn syrup. I think the sour cream in this one takes the place of it.

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted (or margarine)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon brandy
2 cups flour
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs, sifted (or cookie crumbs)
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon clove
1/2 teaspoon cardamom

Steps:

  • Beat eggs with the sugar until light. Stif in melted butter, sour cream and brandy.
  • In another bowl, sift together the flour, cookie crumbs, soda, baking powder and spices.
  • Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Mix well. Dough will be very soft. Refrigerate overnight.

  • Bake until nicely browned, about 15 minutes. Let cookies dry at room temperature a day before storing them in airtight tins.
