Brunkager are traditional Danish gingerbread cookies, known for their crisp texture and warm spice blend. These cookies are a staple during the Danish Christmas season, often featuring almonds for added crunch and flavor.
🧂 Ingredientes
- 125 g Butter(unsalted)
- 65 g Light syrup (or corn syrup)
- 125 g Dark brown sugar
- 250 g Flour
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Ground ginger
- 0.5 tsp Ground cloves
- 50 g Almonds(blanched and coarsely chopped)
- 1 tsp Potaske (or baking soda)(dissolved in 1 tbsp orange juice)
- 0.5 organic orange Orange zest
👨🍳 Instruções
- 1
Melt the butter, light syrup, and dark brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, orange zest, and chopped almonds.
- 3
Dissolve the potaske (or baking soda) in the orange juice. Stir this mixture into the slightly cooled sugar mixture.
- 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. Knead briefly until well combined. The dough should be firm.
- 5
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to slice.
- 6
Preheat oven to 180°C (355°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 7
Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Roll it into a log about 1-1.5 inches in diameter. Slice the log into thin cookies (about 3-5 mm thick).
- 8
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Watch closely as they bake quickly.
- 9
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

- ✓Potaske (potassium carbonate) gives a crispier cookie than baking soda, but baking soda is a suitable substitute.
