Swedish Toffee Cookies

Classic Swedish toffee cookies made with butter, syrup and a hard caramel-like crust. Easy to bake and perfect with a cup of coffee.

• 150 g butter
• 1 dl caster sugar
• 2 tbsp golden syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla sugar
• 0.5 tsp baking powder
• 3 dl all-purpose flour

Method

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 175°C. Line baking trays with parchment paper.
2. 2
   Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the sugar and syrup and stir. Leave to cool to room temperature.
3. 3
   Mix flour, vanilla sugar and baking powder. Stir into the butter mixture and bring together into a dough.
4. 4
   Roll the dough into a long log and cut into about 40 pieces, or roll into balls.
5. 5
   Place the balls on the trays with plenty of space between them. Press flat gently with a fork.
6. 6
   Bake for 8–10 minutes until golden brown.
7. 7
   Leave to cool on the tray – the cookies harden as they cool.
