I am so happy with the result that I want to share the recipe with you who follow the blog.<\/p>\n<p>S\u00f8ren loves the classic cookies with wheat flour \u2013 but when we gather for a birthday here in N\u00f8rre Snede, there are almost always some of the guests who prefer a gluten-free variant. That&#039;s why I&#039;m sharing a recipe here that can be used both with regular wheat flour and with a gluten-free base of almond flour and oat flour. Personally, I&#039;m a wheat flour fan. <em>type-of-mad<\/em>, but both versions taste good, so you can&#039;t go wrong here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>150 g soft butter<\/li>\n<li>100 g cane sugar<\/li>\n<li>100 g brown sugar<\/li>\n<li>1 egg<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd teaspoon organic vanilla powder<\/li>\n<li>200 g grated marzipan<\/li>\n<li>225 g flour (wheat or a combination of almond and oat flour)<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<li>The zest of a grated lemon<\/li>\n<li>The juice from half a lemon<\/li>\n<li>Birkes to turn the cookies in<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nFlavor variation and alternatives<br \/>\n<\/strong>Grate the zest of 1 organic lemon and mix it into the sugar before stirring it into the butter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Procedure<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Grate the zest of 1 organic lemon and mix it into the sugar before stirring it into the butter.<br \/>\nBeat together butter, cane sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.<br \/>\nAdd eggs and vanilla, and mix well.<br \/>\nFold the grated marzipan into the dough.<\/p>\n<p>Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl: flour (oat and almond flour or wheat flour), baking powder and salt.<br \/>\nGently fold it into the dough until it is uniform.<\/p>\n<p>Form the dough into small balls the size of a tablespoon. Place them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to set and become completely cold.<br \/>\nTake the dough balls out, shape them slightly flat into cookies (we prefer about 4\u20135 cm thick), and turn them into birkes so that both the top and sides are covered.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Baking<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We bake the cookies <strong>refrigerator cold*<\/strong> to get a more solid and <em>chewy<\/em> result.<br \/>\nBake at 175\u00b0C for about 9\u201311 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still soft.<br \/>\nLet the cookies cool on a rack.<\/p>\n<p><strong>* A little reminder<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you want thick, soft cookies, bake them when they are still cold from the refrigerator.<br \/>\nIf you want thinner, crispier cookies, put them in the oven straight from room temperature.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip<\/strong><br \/>\nThe dough can be rolled into balls and stored raw in the freezer. That way, you&#039;ll always have birch cookies ready to bake when the craving strikes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>S\u00f8ren i teamet elsker tebirkes, og da hans f\u00f8dselsdag n\u00e6rmer sig, har jeg eksperimenteret med tebirkes-cookies.
