Christmas goodie #7 are Swedish butter cookies. I love these cookies. I grew up eating these throughout the year, my grandma would make them just for me. Aren’t I special 🙂 They are really simple to make. I think we have a trend going here with these easy holiday cookies. Don’t let that fool you though cuz these cookies are oh so yummy with their melt in your mouth butteryness.
They also have a hint of maple syrup in them. Normally I don’t drizzle them with icing or sprinkle them with sugar but I wanted to dress them up for Christmas. Just something simple to make them look a little more festive. In the off season I just dust them with a little powdered sugar.
