To make the whole house smell like Danish Christmas cookies (Brunkager) I bake these decorative cookies to hang around the house. These cookies are not for eating but purely for the scent and Christmas feeling. This is how they are made:
Ingredients:
12 tbsp apple sauce
7 tbsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp dried ground ginger
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp allspice
Mix the dried spices into the apple sauce to make a dry dough. Roll the dough out until it's 1/2 cm thick and cut out heart shapes with a cookie cutter. Make sure to make a whole for the ribbon. Place the hearts on a baking tray lined with baking paper and dry them in the oven at 50 degrees celsius until they are completely dry. This will take some time!
