Steps:
- Mix margarine and flour until crumbly.
- Gradually add half and half.
- Roll out dough and cut with a 1 1/2 inch cutter. (Simple shapes like circles and stars work easiest).
- Dip in granulated sugar.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 7-9 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter and mix with the yolk, vanilla, and gradually add in the powdered sugar. You can divide this into separate bowls if you want more than one color of frosting.
- Spread frosting between cooled cookies.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality chocolate chips.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking Swedish Dream cookies is 375 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and the centers will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cookies will take too long to bake and they will be dry.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to set.
Conclusion:
Swedish Dream cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their soft and chewy texture, sweet and nutty flavor, and beautiful appearance, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give Swedish Dream cookies a try!
