Swedish Sugar Cookies image

My favorite cookie of all time! Not too sweet, no frosting. Its an old-fashioned recipe with corn starch to lighten the flour. These are slightly crisp, but still soft ... definitely melt in your mouth!

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c powdered sugar
1 3/4 c ap flour, sifted
1/2 c corn starch
1 tsp soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c shortening

Steps:

  • 2. Wrap dough in plastic and let set in refrigerator until firm. (about 20-30 min)
  • 3. Roll into balls and flatten on cookie sheet OR .. these make wonderful cut out cookies. My favorite is the reindeer, stars and bells for Christmas. Sprinkle with decorating sugar BEFORE baking.
  • 4. Bake each sheet at 350 deg for 10 min. A dark pan will give you nice lightly brown cookies.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the almonds from the recipe.

I couldn't find cardamom at the store. I used cinnamon instead.

These cookies are delightful! They have a crispy outer shell and a soft, chewy interior. The cardamom flavor is subtle but noticeable, adding a touch of sophistication to the cookies.
