I’m guessing something must have gone wrong then, perhaps your oven? I’ve just had the most amazing feedback on instagram about this recipe: https://www.instagram.com/p/CJMSNVeHuZq/

I am disappointed in this recipe. It needs some baking powder to give it crispness. I recently moved and cannot find my recipe book. I will send you my recipe to try when I find it.

Not sure I’m following your logic, there are also Fedtebrod. I can still speak Danish but not as fluent as when I was a kid. https://www.fabfood4all.co.uk/danish-fedtebrod-coconut-cookie-slices/

In reply to Camilla. I believe that because this is shortbread and brod is bread in Danish, they are calling them Finnish short breads.

In reply to Rhonda E Davis. Hi Rhonda, all cookies should be stored in an air tight container. They should keep for at least a week. You can't freeze baked cookies only cookie dough (though I've never done this). These are quite robust cookies so would travel better than most I'm sure but if the postman drops them then of course that's another matter!

I’m very interested in trying this recipe. I’d like to know how to store the finished cookies and how long will they keep fresh. Can they be frozen? Do they travel well if they were to be mailed a short distance? Thanks so much.

In reply to Johnny. I know Johnny it is indeed a mystery and one that has puzzled me over the years!

Good stuff, but be aware that that bread has nothing to do with Finland. There’s a similar thing in Sweden called “Finska pinnar ” (=Finnish sticks). It’s a mystery why these are named this way.

In reply to D.. Hi, well I have shared my mother's method in the intro. She doesn't have her recipe any more if that's what you mean.

By: D.

D. — Fri, 06 Nov 2015 15:24:12 +0000

Can you share your mother’s method too? Her method sounds more like what I grew up with from my Danish grandmother’s baking.

In reply to Maddy. I've never made biscuits with those particular nuts but I think hazlenuts would be good:-)

We’re not almond fans in our house, so could we substitute pecan or walnut?

They look gorgeous. The almonds would make them a little more special. They’re certainly something I’ll be keeping in mind for when we have our usual ‘cake’ cooking sessions when the family descend each weekend 🙂
