| Pepperkake (Gingerbread Biscuits) |
| These biscuits are traditional at Christmas in Norway. If you would like to hang them on the Christmas tree, use a chopstick end to press a hole into the top of each biscuit before baking, then you can tie a pretty ribbon through the holes. Lovely decorated with icing and/or sprinkles or sweets or small pieces of dried fruits. |
