Brussels cookies (Brysselkex)

Brysselkex are traditional Swedish buttery cookies, often made from a simple mixture of ingredients like butter, sugar, and flour.

The dough is typically rolled into logs, then chilled, sliced into thin rounds, and baked. When finished, they are delicate and have a crumbly texture. The simplicity of the ingredients allows the buttery flavor to shine through. Brysselkex are popularly enjoyed during coffee breaks (known as fika in Sweden), a cherished tradition in Swedish culture.
