Last night L. came over for dinner and I made havreflarn - Swedish oatmeal cookies - for dessert. They took a grand total of about five minutes to make and five minutes in the oven, and they are lacy and crispy on the outside and slightly chewy in the middle. It's the kind of recipe that makes you feel like you must be a really stellar baker, but my cats probably could have made them just as well as me.
Tonight I made chokladbollar - chocolate balls. I have only three months left in Sweden and I don't want to go into some terrible withdrawal from all the pastries and things I've become used to, so I'm trying to learn how to make them now. I got this recipe from a really great blog I found today while being distracted from looking at odds ratios and confidence intervals at CHESS. She does a Swedish version also which helps me learn. The chokladbollar came out really well, but they're also so simple it would take major effort to screw them up. I like them with coconut outside, not perlsocker/pearl sugar.
