Drommar is Swedish for Dream. These are Swedish Dream cookies, and they look an awful lot like little round, very comfortable, pillows.

Ready in: 57 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 50

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
  
• 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
  
• 1 teaspoon crushed ammonium carbonate (also called baker’s ammonium)
  
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  
• 1 1/2 cups Indian dried coconut flakes
  

Preparation method

Prep: 30 mins | Cook: 22 mins | Extra time: 5 mins

1. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Set aside.

2. Cream the butter and sugar at medium speed of an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Mix in ammonium carbonate and almond extract. Add the flour/salt and beat at a low speed until fully incorporated, then add the coconut. Turn out the dough and form into a disk. Chill for 45 minutes.

3. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

4. Roll the dough into roughly 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets.

5. Bake on the second level (or, in the upper third) of the oven for 18 to 22 minutes. The little flecks of coconut will be golden against the pale cookie.

6. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for about ten minutes before transferring to a rack (with a spatula) to cool completely.
