Punschrulle | Traditional Cookie From Sweden, Northern Europe | TasteAtlas

Punschrulle

(Punsch-Roll, Dammsugare, Træstamme, Mergpijpje)

These Swedish cookies are covered in green marzipan while the inside is filled with a combination of crumbled cookies or cakes, cocoa, and punsch - Swedish liqueur that combines arrack, neutral alcohol, sugar, water, and wine—and which gives the cookies their name.


The cookies are formed into rolls, and each end is dipped in chocolate. Punschrulle goes under various names, the most popular being dammsugare (vacuum cleaner), presumably because of their shape and the fact that the pastry chefs had to collect all the leftover crumbs to create the flavorful center of the cookie.


In Denmark, the treat is better known as træstamme, while the Dutch have a similar version known as mergpijpje.
