one dozen NorwegianTerteringe (Pastry Cookies)

Terteringer, also known as Norwegian Pastry Cookies, are delicate, buttery treats that capture the essence of traditional Norwegian baking—simple ingredients, comforting textures, and a touch of elegance. These charming ring-shaped cookies are made from a tender pastry-like dough rich with butter, sugar, and often a hint of vanilla extract, giving them a subtly sweet and fragrant flavor. They have a gentle crunch and visual appeal. Baked until golden, they have a crisp exterior that gives way to a soft, crumbly interior. Timeless and understated, Terteringer are a beautiful example of Norwegian baking tradition: refined, humble, and meant to be shared.
