About the CHRISTMAS e-Book
The book gathers the Danish author’s preparations, celebrations and traditions for Christmas. She shares some of her heirloom Christmas recipes, how to make handmade decorations, favourite white flowers, and some of the traditions she was brought up with in Denmark and some new ones she have created living here in Australia.
DANISH Brown Cookies
With Ginger, Clove and Cinnamon
All you need is:
- 150g brown sugar
- 250g golden syrup
- 150g butter
- 550g flour
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons ground cloves
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 egg
Preheat oven to 200°C. Line 4 large baking trays with baking paper. Place brown sugar syrup and butter in a saucepan and stir over a medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Cool for 10 minutes.
Sift flour, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and fennel into a large bowl. Make a well in centre of flour mixture, then pour in syrup mixture and egg. Mix with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. With lightly floured hands and rolling pin, roll dough evenly to a thickness of approx. 5mm. Using cookie cutters of your choice, cut out cookies and place on prepared trays, allowing room for spreading. Re-roll remaining dough and repeat cutting out the cookies. Bake for 8 minutes or until lightly golden. Cool on trays.
Enjoy!!
About the Author
The author of the Christmas e-Book and creator of DK Design Kitchens new visual identity is the Danish Graphic Designer Kristine Lindbjerg. She has lived in Sydney, Australia, for the past 13 years with her husband and two sons.
She divides her time between working and living in the city and spending most weekends and holidays in the countryside at Turon Gates. She thrives in nature as it is where she refuels and gets inspired, but at the same time, she adores the buzz of the city and the amazing window decorations created by international brands in the city stores. She likes her life of contrasts: being in the garden in gumboots and dressing up with feathers for a party.
Being Danish, CHRISTMAS comes with a lot of beautiful traditions. It’s very important for her to pass these traditions on from her grandparents and parents to the next generation.
