Christmas is almost
here and I am in a holiday baking fever. So, today let’s start with something
very quick and easy to make but also delicious. It is a Swedish recipe or I
think so, because I have only eaten them here in Sweden. I like the buttery
taste of these cookies with the hint of caramel from the golden syrup and their
texture. They are perfect with a nice hot cup of coffee and you only need about
15 minutes to make them, baking time included.
Caramel Cookies (kolakakor)
100 g (1/2 cup)
butter in room temperature
100 ml (1/2
cup) muscovado sugar
200 ml (1 cup) flour
2 tablespoons golden
syrup
1 teaspoon baking
powder
1 tablespoon vanilla
sugar or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ginger (optional)
Preheat the oven to
175 o C/ 345 o F. Line a cookie sheet with baking paper. Put all
the ingredients in a bowl and mix them to form a dough. Work it a little with
your hands until it comes together. Then, divide it in two halves and form two
rolls on the prepared cookie sheet. Don’t put them close to each other because
they spread. Press the rolls with your
fingers or a fork and bake for 10-12 minutes. Take them out of the oven and
immediately cut them diagonally in 1- 1.5 cm pieces. Let them cool completely. Makes
about 30 cookies.
