How to Make Swedish Sugar Cookies
- Cream together 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup packed brown sugar, 1 cup (2 sticks) margarine, and ½ cup vegetable oil until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Blend until thoroughly combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cream of tartar, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Chill the dough for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, for best results.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Pinch off rounded teaspoonfuls of dough and roll into balls.
- Roll the balls in granulated sugar.
- Place the sugar-coated balls onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Gently flatten each cookie with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Avoid overbaking.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
