"Norwegians have a tradition known as the  syv slags kaker, or seven sorts of cookies. Put simply: you wouldn't be a proper Norwegian if you didn't have seven types of cookies to serve at Christmastime."

_{*Note: The recipes and stories on Outside Oslo, my former Scandinavian food blog, are in the process of being incorporated into a new and better website. The site is currently clunky; please be patient with scrolling, sidebars, and multiple popups as I prepare to give you a beautiful and accessible place to access your favorite Scandinavian recipes in the new year. - Daytona (Dec. 16, 2021)}
