Instructions
1
|
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
|
In an electric mixer, cream together butter, white sugar and brown sugar until fluffy.
3
|
Separate egg, reserving the egg white. Add egg yolk, molasses and vanilla to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
4
|
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and cinnamon.
5
|
Add dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix until fully combined.
6
|
Divide the dough into 6 even portions.
7
|
Roll each portion into a log about 6-7 inches long and about 1/2 inch in diameter.
8
|
Place 2 logs on a cookie sheet and flatten each to about 1/4 inch thickness. The cookies will spread when baking so leave plenty of room between them.
9
|
Repeat with remaining dough.
10
|
Whip egg white in a small bowl until broken up.
11
|
Brush egg whites on to top of cookies.
12
|
Sprinkle sanding sugar and chopped almonds on top.
13
|
Bake for 10-12 minutes; cookies will spread out.
14
|
Cool for 3-4 minutes; using a sharp knife, slice diagonally in 1/2 inch strips. Allow to cool completely.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Brown Your Butter First 🧈Melt and lightly brown your unsalted butter before mixing to deepen the nutty, caramel flavors that complement the molasses and cinnamon perfectly.
- Chill Dough Before Shaping ❄️Refrigerate your dough for at least 30 minutes so it holds its cone shape during baking and creates that signature crispy, delicate texture rather than spreading.
- Toast Your Almonds First 🌰Lightly toast whole almonds before processing into flour to intensify their natural flavor and add complexity that elevates these traditional Scandinavian treats.
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️Bring eggs, butter, and molasses to room temperature before mixing to ensure even incorporation and a uniform, golden-brown color throughout each cookie.
- Sanding Sugar Adhesion Trick ✨Brush warm cookies lightly with a thin egg white wash immediately after baking, then roll in sanding sugar while still warm so it adheres beautifully and creates a sparkling finish.
