My daughter and I recently had a lovely afternoon making Hallon Cookies from Trine Hahnemann’s new book Scandinavian Christmas. This particular recipe was given to Trine by a friend called Alice Brax and this is her version of it. These jewel like cookies were delicious and I can think of no better pairing with a cup of tea over the yuletide season!

Gather all the ingredients together.

Hallon Cookie dough being mixed by hand.

Rub together with fingertips.

Until you form a soft dough which you refrigerate for 1 hour.

My son was called upon for initial rolling out of dough!

Hearts and circles are cut out in equal quantity.

Half the shapes are hollowed out and glazed for top of cookies.

Then raspberry jam is inserted into each Hallon Cookie before baking.

Then cool Hallon Cookies on a wire rack.

 

Put the kettle on it’s time for a nice cuppa!
