Time 2h50m

Yield about 3 1/2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), at room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Colored sanding sugars or chopped toasted pecans

Steps:

  • Whisk the flour, cardamom, and salt in a bowl.
  • Put the butter and confectioners' sugar in a food processor, and process until smooth. Pulse in the egg, vanilla, and lemon zest until combined. Add the flour mixture and process to make a soft buttery dough. Divide the dough in half onto 2 (12-inch long) sheets of plastic wrap. Using the plastic, shape into rough logs. Refrigerate the dough logs for 30 minutes until just firm enough to shape into uniform logs, 8-inches long by 2-inches in diameter. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Scatter either the sanding sugars or toasted nuts on a work surface and roll the logs until completely coated. Cut into 1/4-inch thick cookies and space about 1 inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until golden around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool cookies on the pan on wire racks. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your cookies will taste. This means using real butter, not margarine, and using fresh eggs and vanilla extract.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking Swedish Dream cookies is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake them at a higher temperature, they will brown too quickly and the centers will be undercooked.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

Swedish Dream cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover egg whites, and they can be decorated with a variety of toppings, such as sprinkles, nuts, or chocolate chips. These cookies are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
