Drömmar (Swedish Dream Cookies)

TYPE : Swedish

YIELD : 16 cookies

CALORIES : 110 kcal

PREP TIME : 15

COOK TIME : 20

INGREDIENTS :

1/2 stick (50 g) soft butter
2/3 cup (1.5 dl) sugar
1/4 cup (0.5 dl) neutral oil (I use Crisco pure canola oil)
1 tsp vanilla sugar, or 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup (2 dl) all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp ammonium bicarbonate / baker's ammonia (hjorthornssalt)

INSTRUCTIONS :

Set the oven to 300°F (150°C).
Mix butter and sugar by hand or mixer, then gradually add the oil. Finally mix in flour and ammonium bicarbonate.
Roll into balls and place on a lined baking sheet. Flatten them a little with your fingers, then refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Bake for 20 minutes and allow to cool on the baking sheet.

NOTES :

Baker's ammonia can be found online or in select European or international markets. Using regular baking powder works, but they will not turn out as crumbly.
