Swedish Christmas Cookies From Food Network Kitchens























2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour


2 teaspoons ground cardamom


1/4 teaspoon fine salt


1 cup unsalted butter, (2 sticks), at room temperature


1 cup confectioners' sugar


1 large egg, room temperature


1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract


1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest


Colored sanding sugars or chopped toasted pecans





Whisk the flour, cardamom, and salt in a bowl.


Put the butter and confectioners' sugar in a food processor, and process until smooth. Pulse in the egg, vanilla, and lemon zest until combined. Add the flour mixture and process to make a soft buttery dough. Divide dough in half onto 2 (12-inch long) sheets of plastic wrap, using the plastic, shape into rough logs. Refrigerate the dough logs for 30 minutes until just firm enough to shape into uniform logs, 8-inches long by 2-inches in diameter. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.





Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.





Scatter either the sanding sugars or toasted nuts on a work surface and roll the logs until completely coated. Cut into 1/4-inch thick cookies and space about 1 inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until golden around the edges, about 20 to 25 minutes. Cool cookies on the pan on wire racks. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.





these are also yummy!


ANISE CHRISTMAS COOKIES





5 large eggs, well beaten


1 lb. box of powdered sugar


1 teaspoon anise OIL (It is much better to use the oil)


1 teaspoon baking powder


about 5 cups flour





Beat eggs till very frothy. Add powdered sugar a bit at a time, until all sugar is used.





Add anise oil and baking powder. Slowly add the flour to the mixture. When it gets too stiff for beaters, I continue the rest by hand.





When dough has lost most of the stickiness, roll out on a floured board to about 3/8-inch thick. Then cut out into shapes. I use my Grandma Jed's old wood cookie cutter. Place all cookies on a clean sheet on a table to set all night.





The next morning, bake on a ungreased cookie sheet for about 12 minutes in a 325 degree oven. They should be just starting to brown. Keep cookies in a tightly sealed Tupperware with a piece bread included to keep them soft.Does anyone have any unique cookie recipes to use for the holidays?
