Risgrøt or rice on milk is a traditional Norwegian dish served on Saturdays. During the Christmas season, it appears as a dessert. It is served in the form of pudding (riskrem), just mix risgrøt with sweet cream and you're done. An indispensable addition is a red, fruity sauce, which is poured generously over the pudding. The almond, fortunately, is placed in one portion of the dessert. The one who finds the hidden surprise gets a prize - a marzipan treat.
I baked the cookies 5 times with different ingredients each time. Even my unsuccessful attempts are being enjoyed by my household members so don't be afraid to make any mistakes along the way :) I wanted the taste of the cookies to be assoc i ated with celebrating Christmas. Orange peel and spices turned out to be a reliable addition. Cooled cookies can be stored in a tightly closed container for up to 3 days. Mine didn't make it to the second day, so good luck!
