Kolasnittar (Swedish caramel cookies or biscuits or shortbread) are some of the easiest and fastest sweet things you can bake! Now when we enter the christmas season I wanted to try out a slightly different version: saffron caramel cookies! It turned out that saffron in combination with caramel was really delicious. Here are some other ways to spice it up if you get tired of saffron:
- Ginger
- Cardamom
- Cinnamon
- Chai spice mix
Here you can find this recipe in swedish.
