Product Description Traditional Norwegian cookies the easy way. Cut dozens of deliciously uniform cookies in minutes. Roll the cutter on your dough for perfectly shaped diamonds and exact center slits. The head is 2.25"/5.5cm and is made of cast iron. The handle is 6.75"/17cm and is made of stainless steel. Hand washing recommended. Norwegians and other Scandinavians use this traditional tool to quickly, smoothly, and uniformly cut dough into the diamond shapes that distinguish the holiday cookies called Fattigman. Fattigman, usually flavored with cardamom, are deep-fried and dusted with powdered sugar. Normally, a slit is cut in the center of the diamond and one point of the diamond is pulled through the slit, although the recipe included with this durable, cast-aluminum cutter eliminates that step. --Fred Brack Amazon.com Norwegians and other Scandinavians use this traditional tool to quickly, smoothly, and uniformly cut dough into the diamond shapes that distinguish the holiday cookies called Fattigman.
