Swedish Drömmar (seriously melt-in-the-mouth vanilla cookies)

Swedish Drömmar (seriously melt-in-the-mouth vanilla cookies)

Ingredients

  • 100 g butter
  • 260 g sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
  • 115 ml vegetable oil
  • 220 g plain all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon hjorthornssalt

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 150°C (300ºF). Line two baking trays with grease-proof paper.
  2. Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla until it is smooth and fluffy
  3. Add the oil a little at a time, until incorporated.
  4. Mix the hjorthornssalt with a little of the flour and add to the oil/butter mixture. Add the remaining flour and mix well.

  5. Divide the dough into two and work both into long rolls (it isn't the easiest dough to handle and the best thing to do is squeeze it until you can manipulate it into rolls). Cut each roll into 15 or 20 pieces and roll into balls (again, there may need to be some squeezing going on to achieve this).
  6. Place on the prepared trays with space in between and bake in the middle of the oven for around 20 minutes, just until only the edges are starting to brown - the cookies will be fairly pale, but this is how they are supposed to look! The are fairly delicate so let them sit on their baking tray until they've cooled then move them to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely.
