Recipe Introduction


(Swedish Christmas Sugar Cookies)


List of Ingredients




1 cup butter
2 cups sugar, plus extra, divided
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ cup cream
1 egg white, slightly beaten





Recipe



Preheat oven to 350°. Cream butter and gradually add 1 cup sugar. Add eggs and continue to beat until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 cup sugar. Add vanilla. Add flour, baking powder and cream; mix well and chill. Roll out quite thin on a lightly floured board and cut with 3" cookie cutters. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with sugar (or decorate with other colored sugar or cookie decorations). Bake about 8 minutes. Makes about 88 cookies. Cookies may also be decorated after baking with colored icing.

*(Decorative icing can be made by adding confectioner's sugar to remaining egg white until right consistency).
