I got several recipes from a Korean friend at the university. This is one of the few sweets recipes – a no bake gluten free candylike cookie which looks quite pretty.

They say these Thumbprint Cookies (also known as Rosenmunnar) are Christmas Cookies, but I’m guessing “THEY” don’t know how easy these are to make all year round.
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1/4 cup white sugar
1 cup sifted flour
1/4 cup jelly or preserves
(I got 33 one inch cookies out of this)
Combine sugar and butter.

I’m a stay at home mom. That always cracks me up: “stay at home mom.” As if I don’t have loads of laundry to do, three kids to entertain, not to mention educate, meals to prepare, and I can just kick my feet up all day and eat bon bons.

1/4 cup shredded coconut
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. of salt
1/4 cup butter (softened by standing at room temperature or microwaving it slightly)
1 1/2 oz. regular cream cheese (softened by standing at room temperature)
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup crushed pineapple, packed (measure this amount only after pineapple has been squeezed rigorously through a sieve to remove as much moisture as possible)
1/4 cup finely chopped maraschino cherries, packed (measure this amount only after the chopped maraschino cherries have been squeezed rigorously through a sieve to remove as much moisture as possible)
about 12 additional whole maraschino cherries, cut in half (optional)
The baked cookies are soft and cake-like (not hard and crispy) and taste somewhat like macaroons but with the additional flavor and texture of pineapple and maraschino cherries.

I will admit it. I don’t like baking oatmeal cookies.
Why? Because whenever I bake oatmeal cookies, they turn out very flat, and very crunchy. I’m more of a soft and chewy sort of cookie gal.
But when I found this easy no bake oatmeal cookie recipe, I was super excited.
What You Need:
2 c. rolled oats
3/4 c. white sugar
3 tbs. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbs. water
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2/3 c. butter, softened
1 c. powdered sugar (aka confectioner’s sugar)

One of my good friends was recently explaining how much she missed her Norwegian grandmother’s Christmas cookies. She recalled them as a simple butter cookie marked by her grandmother’s thumbprint and sprinkled in sugar. I took note of all of the details and luckily, I was able to find a recipe that matched her description.
I gathered up all of the ingredients and got to work. These treats turned out to be simple and dense butter cookies, perfect for a quick dip in a cup of coffee. While the thumbprint was not her grandmother’s, she was thrilled to receive a plate full of such a familiar cookie. If you want to give these traditional Scandinavian cookies a try for your holiday, keep reading.
