FATTIGMAN (NORWEGIAN COOKIES)
These are traditionally made at Christmas at Grandma's house. Fattigman (pronounced futty mun) means poor man. They are my very favorite Norwegian treat!

Steps:
- 1. Beat egg yolks and salt until thick and light in color. Add in cream, sugar and butter. Mix well.
- 2. Add flour and cardamom to egg mixture. Mix well. Chill one hour.
- 3. Roll out 1/4 of the dough at a time, keeping the rest of the dough in the refrigerator. Roll a 1/16 inch thick rectangle. Using a fattigman cutter or a pastry cutter cut in 1 1/2-inch wide strips then cut diagonally at 4-inch intervals (making diamonds). Cut a 1 inch slit lengthwise in center of each piece. Slip one end of the diamond through the cut and pull through gently.

FATTIGMAN COOKIES
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Cream together eggs, sugar, and brandy, if using.
- Stir in melted butter.
- Gently fold whipped cream into batter.
- Sift together flour, cardamom, baking powder, and salt.
- With a light hand, mix dry ingredients into batter to form a soft dough. You want to avoid handling dough too much. Otherwise, cookies will end up tough.
- Chill dough, covered, for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Roll chilled dough out on a floured board to a thickness of 1/8 inch.
- Using a fattigman cutter or a pastry cutter, cut dough into diamond shapes about 1 1/4-inch wide by 3 1/2 inches long. If you're using a pastry cutter, cut dough first into 1 1/4-inch strips and then cut across these diagonally to form diamonds.
- Use a knife to cut a 1/2-inch slash in the middle of each diamond.
- Twist one corner of each diamond up through center slash to make a knot.
- Heat 2 inches of oil in the bottom of a heavy pot to 375 F.
- Drop in pastry knots and fry until golden brown, turning occasionally.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Sprinkle cookies with vanilla sugar or confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Beat egg yolks with sugar until thick and yellow. Add cream, and flour mixed with baking powder and cinnamon or cardamom. Fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites and add more flour, enough to make a pliable dough.
- Chill. Roll out dough as thin as possible and cut into diamond shapes with knife or fluted pastry wheel. Make a slit in center of each diamond and pull the tip end of diamond through slit as far as it will go.
- Drop into hot oil or shortening (350 F). Fry like doughnuts, but only until very lightly browned. They cook almost as fast as they are put into the hot shortening, so they must be turned and taken out quickly. Drain on paper and sprinkle with sugar.

FATTIGMANN
This is in response to Carol's request for what she called 'Futimonbuckles' but in Norwegian - Fattigmann Bakkels would sound the way she spelled it. This is a very old recipe that dates back over a 100 years and actually means 'Poor Man's Cakes'.

- In a large bowl, beat egg and yolks together. Stir in the cream, sugar, melted butter and cardamom. Mix in enough of the flour to make a soft but manageable dough. Handle the dough as little as possible or cookies will be tough.

- Fry in hot lard until lightly browned. Drain on paper and dust with confectioners' sugar when cool. The cookies should be uniform in size and thickness and shouldn't be fried too dark or too light.

POOR MAN'S COOKIES
In the 1930s, producers of a popular radio program called Jake and Lena invited listeners to write in for this recipe. My mother changed the name from Jake and Lena Cookies to Poor Man's Cookies because they contained no eggs, milk or nuts. Despite the name, the cookies are rich in taste!
