Amazon.com Review
Rosettes are deep-fried Swedish cookies sprinkled with sugar. Timbales are deep-fried Swedish cookies filled with fresh fruit or, in savory form, with hot creamed chicken, fish, or vegetables. Greeks call their version of these cookies diples: they are dipped in honey, chopped nuts, and cinnamon. Mexicans sprinkle their deep-fried cookies in sugar, cloves, and cinnamon. Inventive cooks can change cookie flavorings and vary pastry-shell fillings to create entrees or pretty appetizers. All of these possibilities (recipes included) come courtesy of this rosette and timbale set. There are star, floral, and maze molds to make rosettes and fluted heart, square, and round molds for timbales. Molds screw onto the double-dip handle for frying two at a time. Heat the molds in hot oil, dip them into a batter, then dip them into the oil again. Cookies or shells easily slip off the cast-aluminum molds. --Fred Brack

Nordic Ware Swedish Rosette Timbale
This is one of the nicest accessory you can have in your kitchen! Make shells and fill with chicken or tuna salad that is very tasty and lovely to look at. I have used my Timbale for more than 20 years now and extremely pleased with it and plan on ordering additional to replace my own as well as gifts for others.

Memory Wishes From The Past Come True
I come from a small farming community, in the mid-west. My family was of German descent. The neighbor lady use to make these wispy cookies that are so thin and crispy that they just melt in your mouth. Also, when I went to my aunt's houses, many of them had these wonderful delights. I use to wish that my own Mother would make some of these cookies, but she would always say that it took a special tool that she didn't have and couldn't find.
Here I am, almost 60 years old. I ordered this special tool and now I am impressing all of my friends with these special treats. No one can eat just one. I must admit that it does take a bit of practice to turn out the beautiful rosettes. However, it is much cooler than heating up an oven to turn out the wonderful wish from my past.

Not JUST swedish, they're Norwegian, too!
I love rosettes. Everyone always compliments me on mine, and 2 dozen disappear like magic at family gatherings. They're wonderful crispy cookies, though, if not crispy enough you can just put them in a 300 degree oven for about 5 minutes and that'll do the trick. They're really fun to make, but take a lot of time. And contrary to popular belief, they aren't just Swedish. Scandinavian is a good term to use, as rosettes exist in both Swedish and Norwegian cultures. My family is only Norwegian and we've been making and buying them for generations.
