Cómo preparar Scandinavian Butter Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls.
- Dip the bottom of a small glass in granulated sugar. Press down on each cookie ball to flatten slightly, creating a slightly indented top.
- Decorate: Top with your choice of chopped nuts (e.g., ½ cup pecans or walnuts), candied cherries, or press a cherry half into the center of each cookie. Alternatively, roll the flattened cookies in crushed nuts before adding a cherry.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
