spicy, quick Christmas cookies

Knead all ingredients together into a dough and chill for about 30 minutes. Then roll into sausages and cut each into 1 cm thick slices. Place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake for about 10 minutes at 175°C (top/bottom heat). Once cooled, drizzle with chocolate or powdered sugar, if desired. I got the recipe from my Danish teacher, who in turn got it from her parents in Denmark, and so on. I’ve been baking them every year since then.
