Swedish Waffle Cookies Recipes

SWEDISH CRISP WAFFLES (FRASVAFFLOR)

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Sift flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl. Whisk in milk, butter, and heavy cream; stir in soda.
• Cook in batches in the preheated waffle iron until waffles are golden brown and the iron stops steaming, about 5 minutes.

SWEDISH CREAM WAFERS

Steps:

• Combine the 1 cup butter, cream and sifted flour. Mix well and chill for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• On a floured board, roll out 1/3 of the dough to 1/8 inch thick. Cut with 1 1/2 inch round cookie cutter. Transfer rounds to waxed paper heavily covered with white sugar. Turn rounds so that both sides are coated with sugar. Place rounds on ungreased baking sheets and prick each round with a fork about 4 times. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 7 to 9 minutes. Let cookies cool then put 2 cookies together with the filling.
• To Make Filling: Blend the remaining 1/4 cup of butter, the confectioners' sugar, egg yolk and vanilla together. Tint with food coloring, if desired. You may double the filling for a nicer looking cookie.

SCANDINAVIAN SWEETHEART WAFFLES

Steps:

• Place egg yolks into a large mixing bowl with the sugar, and beat until light and frothy. Mix in the vanilla sugar and water until evenly combined, and stir in half the melted butter, half the buttermilk, half the flour. When mixture is smooth, mix in remaining butter, buttermilk, flour, cardamom, and salt, and beat again to a smooth batter.
• In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until they form stiff peaks; gently fold the egg whites into the batter, incorporating as much volume as possible.
• Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions.
• Spoon about 1/3 cup of batter into the preheated waffle iron, close the lid, and cook until the waffle is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove waffle to a plate. If using a heart-shaped iron, break the waffle into individual hearts to serve. Repeat with remaining batter.
