Lusikkaleivät, or "spoon cookies," are traditional Finnish shortbread-style biscuits made by browning the butter for that nutty flavour. They are made by pressing dough with a teaspoon to create their signature oval shape and then sandwiched together with a layer of raspberry jam and rolled in sugar to make a delicious treat!
