(Swedish: Finska pinnar), (Norwegian: Finske pinner), (Danish: Finsk brød) or Finnish sticks are a Scandinavian shortbread cookie characterized by its long shape, crispy texture, and its frequent consumption during Christmas.[1] It's also frequently featured in sju sorters kakor, a Scandinavian tradition of preparing seven different kinds of cookies for guests.[2] Contrary to what the name implies, it's not thought to be of Finnish origin, and it's uncertain how this cookie received its name.
