Norwegian Christmas Cookie Recipe: Norwegian Hazelnut Macaroons – Norsk Nøttetopper

December 3, 2013 By Whitney Love 4 Comments

Norwegian Hazelnut Macaroons

Nøttetopper

Norwegian hazelnut macaroons, or nøttetopper as they are called in Norwegian, are a great gluten free alternative to serve this year at Christmas. I love these little gems because they are made from staple pantry items and don’t require difficult to find ingredients.

Make sure you use raw, unroasted hazelnuts in this cookie recipe or for a slightly untraditional twist, use raw almonds instead.

    Thanks for the recipe! Most recipes I have seen for similar cookies call for roasted hazelnuts. Doesn’t roasting make a more flavorful cookie?
