Brune Pinner (Norwegian Christmas Cookies)

Preheat oven to 355°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with baking paper.

Add the butter, brown sugar, and syrup to a mixing bowl and beat until fluffy. Add the egg yolk, setting aside the egg white for later, and stir until smooth.

Add the rest of the ingredients and mix together, first with a spoon and then kneading with your hands until the dough comes together in a ball.

Divide the dough into four sections and roll them out into long sausages. Place two sausages on the baking sheet and press them down with your hands until flat.

Brush the dough with the egg white and sprinkle with pearl sugar and nuts (if desired).

Bake for 12 - 15 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes and then cut into diagonal slices and cool on a wire rack.
