Krumkake

Rachel Sundet gets her holiday sugar fix with krumkakes, a Norwegian cone-shaped cookie (kind of like a pizzelle). “Every year at Christmastime,” says Sundet, “my mother-in-law Judy borrows a krumkake pan from her mother-in-law, Dolly, and makes big batches of these delicious and beautiful cookies.

Things go most smoothly with a few people to streamline the process and a special cookie iron is required but these delicate little waffle cones are the perfect vehicle for whipped cream or cannoli filling. Give Sundet’s recipe a shot this holiday season—it might take a few tries to get the shape right, but even the misfits will taste great.

Directions

Heat a Krumkake iron (you can use electric or stovetop, or a pizzelle iron).
Mix together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Mix in the flour. Fold in the whipped cream.
Spoon about a teaspoon of the batter onto the iron and cook about a minute until the cookie is golden.
Remove carefully from the iron and while warm, shape into a cone and hold to set the shape.
Repeat with rest of batter.
