Ingredients

Method

  1. Start with soft, room-temperature butter or cut the butter into small cubes. Whisk the butter and sugar fluffy with a spoon or an electric hand mixer. For the rye and chocolate cookies recipe – add the cocoa powder in this step.

  2. Fold the remaining ingredients and work the dough gently with your hands or a wooden spoon until all elements are incorporated but without crushing the flakes.

  3. Split the dough in two and roll each part into 4 cm thick rolls. Wrap them in baking paper and let cool in the fridge for about 4 hours until they harden.

  4. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Cut each roll into 16 medallions, approx. 1 cm thick and arrange on a paper-lined baking tray. Bake for 12–16 minutes and let cool.
