Oatmeal-Lace Cookies (Havrekniplekaker)

"I found this delicious recipe late one evening when my daughter informed she needed to bring a Norwegian food item for a heritage day pot-luck at her school the NEXT day! I had all the ingredients and the cooking time is so short so this is the one I made for her. I'm so glad I did, these turned out to be very delicious and quite different from 'normal' cookies. The recipe is from Authentic Norwegian Cooking by Astrid Karlsen Scott."

  1. My grandmother used to make these cookies very thin and while hey were still warm she would drape them over a broom handle so they would form a "saddle." After they had cooled she filled the saddle with lingonberries and cream...yummmmm.
     
  2. These cookies are super delicious as well as very easy and quick to make. A very delicate, light and crunchy cookie with excellent taste. Thank you Hey Jude for sharing. This recipe will be going into my book of keepers! Just a note to add: the first time I made these I used old fashioned oats as I had no other. The second time I used quick oats as called for. I have to say I prefer the old fashioned as they come out lacier and more crunchy. Both are delicious!
     
  3. DD wanted to make some cookies tonight and I was out of eggs. I'm so glad or I would never have found this recipe! I wasn't sure if you meant spread out like one bar or pat each individual cookie. Anyway, I dropped bigger than a 1/2 teaspoon (1/2 teaspoon seemed so small!) and then I patted that down some. It all ended up as one big cookie in the oven. I don't know if I did something wrong or not. Don't really care... these babies tasted fantastic. Definitely had to cook more than 7 minutes. I used a stoneware bar pan so didn't need to line the pan or anything. I'll have to try again for prettier cookies. But as far as taste - five stars!
     
  4. Wonderful!! I made these last night for an office party today and they were quite popular. Very fragile when hot, but they firm up when cool. They spread out when cooking. Cooking on parchment paper went well and was less messy than greasing and flouring the sheets.
     
  5. fANtAStic!! i started off with a slightly larger cookie but then saw how much they spread so dropped them a bit smaller.... so good, can't wait to serve to my mom, she'll be so pleased to enjoy an authentic norwegian cookie :)
