Swedish Drommar (dreams) cookies (eggless for Guru and Gayle)

[Guest guest]

I make these during the holidays.

The way you prepare the butter really gives these cookies

a good flavor.

 

Swedish Drommar (dreams)

 

1 cup butter (don't sub with margarine)

3/4 cup sugar

1 tsp. baking powder

2 tsps. vanilla extract

1/2 heaping tsp. ground cardamom

2 cups flour

50 blanced toasted whole almonds (or a handful of slivers)

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place butter in a large heavy skillet and cook over medium heat

for about 15 minutes or until butter turns a light tan color (don't burn it).

Pour into mixing bowl, now place the bowl over a bowl if ice cold water and let

butter firm up.

Now add sugar, baking powder, vanilla and cardamom, beat until

well combined. Stir in flour.

Shape dough into one inch balls. Place balls one inch apart on an ungreased

cookie sheet. Top each cookie with an almond, press almond or slivers slightly

into dough. Don't smash the ball flat.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golder brown. Remove cookies

to a wire rack to cool.
