Notes: This recipe doesn't use eggs. It's a great tasting cookie and similar to other pepperkakor recipes, but this one is my favorite.
In Norway, one Christmas tradition is to serve at least 7 different kinds of cookies at Christmas. My Grandma Ruth always followed this as well so there was always a wide variety at her house.
