Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

  2. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.

  4. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up.

  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  6. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Using a cookie cutter, cut out small circles and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

  7. Shape each circle into a ring by gently pinching the ends together, leaving a hollow center. This is where the dark corn syrup will be added later.

  8. Decorate the top of each ring with a few sliced almonds, gently pressing them into the dough.

  9. Bake the Sirupskranse in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

  10. Remove the cookies from the oven and while warm, fill the center of each ring with a small amount of dark corn syrup using a small spoon.

  11. Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack until the syrup sets and the cookies are completely cooled.
