For best results, use a high-quality whiskey to enhance the flavor of the cookies. If the dough becomes too sticky to handle, chill it for a short time before rolling. Be patient when heating the krumkake iron – it's important to get it to the correct temperature for even cooking. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for several weeks.
