Swedish thumbprint cookies.

This recipe came from my great grandmother's family who came from Sweden somewhere near the end of the last century. NOTE: You can also add 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa to this recipe. It makes the cookies taste like brownie cookies.

These thin, crispy spice cookies are a Christmas tradition in Sweden. They're usually cut into heart, flower or star shapes. Dusting your cookie cutters with flour will make it easier to cut the dough.

Inspiration and Ideas

Swedish Dream Cookies

Delicate melt in your mouth almond coconut cookie. Baker's ammonia (ammonium bicarbonate) is also known as hartshorn. It is an old form of leaving that was mainly used before the arrival of baking powder. During baking it releases an unpleasant odor, that does not affect the taste of the cookies. It can be found in drugstores and some specialty baking stores

Chokladbiskvier (Swedish Chocolate Meringue Cookies)

My Swedish mother's recipe is not easy, but the results are worth the effort! A delicate, almond and meringue base layer is topped with chocolate buttercream, then glazed with dark chocolate. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
