Swedish oatmeal cookies
Description
This recipe won’t take long. Even with simple ingredients and steps, there are a few details worth watching. Use only high-quality butter for baking the cookies—spread or margarine won’t work. It’s also important to rub the dough ingredients together. After baking, let the cookies cool for the right amount of time; while hot they crumble very easily. Follow the recipe and you’ll be happy with the result. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

Step 5
Take a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper. Place each portion lengthwise on the sheet, in small heaps. Flatten lightly with your palm and neaten the edges so they do not touch one another. Bake the cookies in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 10 minutes.

Step 6
Golden-brown edges can tell you the cookies are done. Take the baking sheet out of the oven. Let the cookies sit for 10 minutes. Right now they are very soft and fragile. Once they have cooled slightly, cut diagonal slashes with a sharp knife. Leave them on the baking sheet until completely cool.
