Katie! I just made your lovely Pepparnoten! Yes in September! I am testing out recipes for "old world cookies" this week.

Your grandmother's cookies are delicious and smell so intoxicating! My sweetie has been back to the cooling rack at least 8 times! THAT is a very good sign!!! He is after all, at heart, a chocolate chip guy!

Thank you so much for sharing your recipe in the swap a couple years ago. I will be featuring it again close to thanksgiving with a link to your site!
