Krakeling
The krakeling. A typical Dutch cookie that is also eaten a lot in Belgium and the Nordics. This cookie is known for its shape. To me it looks a bit like a bow tie. You roll up the cookie from a long string where you place both strings back to the middle.
To finish the cookie, it is coated with sugar. You can also choose to add cinnamon to the sugar. Thanks to the simple recipe you are ready quickly and you can enjoy this great cookie. At the beginning you may have to take a look at how long the string is allowed to be and practice how to get the right shape. I also had this. After practicing a few times you will get the hang of it and you will know the length that works for you. So you can choose whether you want to make large or small cookies.
