Swedish Sugar Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup butter (softened)

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 ½ cups flour

2 teaspoons cream of tartar

2 teaspoons baking soda

Pinch of salt

Green sugar

Red sugar

Combine the softened butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add the egg and vanilla. Add the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Make sure the dough is thoroughly mixed.

Chill the dough for at least one hour, it will be easier to handle.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Using a teaspoon, roll the dough into small balls. Dip one side in either the red or green sugar. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space in between each cookie as they will spread when they bake.

Bake for 8 minutes, a minute longer if you want the cookie to be crunchy.

Chocolate Shot Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup butter (softened)

1 cup power sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 ½ cup flour

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 cup uncooked oatmeal

Chocolate sprinkles

Combine the softened butter with the powder sugar. Add the vanilla. Add the flour and baking soda, mix to combine, but do not over mix. Stir in the uncooked oatmeal.

On two sheets of wax paper, press equal amounts of dough into two rolls. Roll the dough in the chocolate sprinkles to cover the outside. Wrap the two rolls of dough in the wax paper and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and cut the cookies in ½ inch discs. These cookies do not spread when baked. Place in the over for approximate 15 minutes.

Let cool and enjoy!
