  Sirups kager, a Danish spice cookie "as brown as a reindeer," was a
  humble but coveted Christmas prize enjoyed by my grandfather in
  Denmark.
  
  Cream butter with sugar and corn syrup. Stir in cinnamon, cloves,
  and baking soda mixture. Add flour a little at a time, mixing well
  after each addition until stiff dough forms. Cover dough and
  refrigerate until firm.

  Heat oven to 400 F. Roll dough to 1/8" thickness on floured
  surface. Cut with cookie cutters into reindeer or desired shapes.
  Or roll dough into logs about 1" in diameter and slice crosswise
  into 1"-thick rounds.

  Bake on ungreased cookie sheets until lightly browned, about 8 to
  10 minutes.
