If you like snickerdoodles, you will love these bron grate cookies!

I’ve shared a few of my Grandma Kae’s best cookie recipes here on NoBiggie, and I’m happy to share another favorite. Bron Grate’ is a Norwegian cookie. It’s sort of like a mix between a snickerdoodle and a ginger snap, so if you like those two, then you’ll love this one. We made them into ice cream sandwiches over the weekend, and they were delish! They taste so good with vanilla ice cream!

What you need to make Bron Grate Cookies:

butter
sugar
salt
egg
baking soda
molasses
cinnamon
flour

How to make Bron Grate Cookies:

Preheat: Preheat oven to 350.
Cream butter and sugar: In a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar together.
Mix ingredients: Dissolve the baking soda into the egg yolk. Add the egg yolk, baking soda mixture, cinnamon and molasses to the butter and sugar.
Add flour: Gradually add in flour until well combined.
Scoop and roll: Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out the cookie dough. Gently roll the ball of cookie dough in the unbeaten egg white and then roll in a plate of the extra sugar plus a pinch of salt. Continue this process until you have filled one cookie sheet with 12. Bake for 13 minutes.
Cool and serve: Let cool on the cookie sheet they baked on covered with parchment paper and a hand towel. Recipe makes 2 dozen cookies.

How to store Bron Grate Cookies:

Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They could also be kept frozen, or chilled in the fridge!

Preparing dough for Bron Grate Cookies:

Once your cookie dough is ready, you’ll need to get a plate of sugar (with a pinch of salt) ready and the unbeaten egg white. You’ll dip each little cookie dough ball in the egg white and then roll in the sugar, until well coated.

Using a Silpat for Bron Grate Cookies:

As you can see the cookies spread quite a bit while baking. Using a silpat will help them not spread quite as much. You could also use parchment sheets, but I have heard that cookies tend to spread less on a silpat, so this is what I prefer to bake on for this recipe.

Ice cream sandwiches with Bron Grate Cookies:

We made delicious ice cream sandwiches with these cookies. Just scoop some vanilla ice cream in between two cookies and devour! I got 24 cookies from this recipe, or you can get 12 ice cream sandwiches.
