FARMER COOKIES

A good, old fashioned, mid-western cookie! We grew up eating these cookies. My grandma made them often! This recipe calls for melting the shortening and then creaming it with the sugar. I think that is the secret to making these cookies so crispy and light!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Look for butter that is at least 82% butterfat, and use pure vanilla extract instead of imitation.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much. You can chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature: This will help them bake evenly and prevent them from burning. The ideal temperature for baking Swedish farmer cookies is 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
  • Watch the cookies carefully while they are baking: They can go from perfectly baked to overbaked very quickly. Once the edges of the cookies start to turn golden brown, remove them from the oven.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will allow them to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Swedish farmer cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are a classic Swedish cookie that is often served at Christmas, but they can be enjoyed all year round. With their simple ingredients and straightforward instructions, these cookies are sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
