Krumkake is a delicate cone-shaped Norwegian wafer-like cookie traditionally served with coffee during the Christmas season. It is made from a thin batter that’s poured onto a hot krumkake iron and cooked until golden-brown before being wrapped around a cone form and hardening to a crisp. Scandinavian immigrants brought the recipe with them to the United States where it remains popular in the Midwest. The cookies can be eaten plain, dipped in melted chocolate, or stuffed with a filling such as fruit or whipped cream.
