Ingredients

  • 4 eggs large
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup butter melted and cooled (1 stick)
  • 1 tablespoon almond extract
  • 1 ½ cups flour all-purpose
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

  • Beat eggs and sugar for 2-3 minutes on medium-high speed, until eggs have lightened slightly in color. Add butter and almond extract and mix well.
    4 eggs, 1 cup sugar, ½ cup butter, 1 tablespoon almond extract
  • Sift the flour and cornstarch together into the bowl and then mix well to combine with the batter.
    1 ½ cups flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Preheat the electric krumkake baker and brush the grids with a little butter to prevent sticking.
  • Use a cookie scoop or similar sized spoon to place about a tablespoon of batter onto the center of each cooking grid.
  • Close the iron and cook for one to one and a half minutes. Check your cookies starting at one minute. When the edges are just beginning to turn brown, remove the cookies.
  • Roll the warm cookies around a wooden cone to form a cone shape.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely on a plate or wire rack before filling.
  • Decorate by dusting with powdered sugar, dipping in melted chocolate, and/or filling with sweetened whipped cream.

Notes

For a traditional cardamom-flavored cookie, eliminate the almond extract and replace with ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon ground cardamom.
