Kokeelleet

Kokeelleet, also known as kokeilleet or kokeileet, are a type of traditional Finnish sweet bread that are typically enjoyed during the Christmas season. The name "kokeelleet" translates to "little cakes" in English. These breads are characterized by their distinctive shape, which resembles a small, round cake, and their sweet, spiced flavor. They are often made with a simple dough consisting of flour, sugar, yeast, and spices such as cinnamon and cardamom. The dough is then rolled out, cut into circles, and baked until golden brown. Kokeelleet are typically served plain or dusted with powdered sugar, and they are often accompanied by a cup of hot coffee or tea. The breads are a popular treat in Finland and are often given as gifts or served at family gatherings during the holiday season.
