Swedish Sugar Cookies
Classic Swedish Sugar Cookies are a delicious drop cookie we make every holiday season!
Servings: 32 cookies
Equipment
- baking sheets
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup butter, salted, at room temperature
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla, I used 2 teaspoons of vanilla paste
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 cups all purpose flour, measure with the fluff and scoop method
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F
- Cream the softened butter, sugar, vanilla and egg well, until everything is combined and fluffy.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and combine with the sugar mixture. Mix just until the dough comes together and there is no more dry flour. Scrape down the sides of the bowl well.
- Form into balls about 1 inch in diameter and roll in sugar or sprinkles to coat well.
- Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake until they just start to brown around the edges, about 10 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool briefly on the baking sheet and then move to a cooling rack. Sprinkle with a little more sugar or sprinkles while hot if needed.
Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The cookies will soften slightly over time.
