Lovely Shortbread Cookies - Ljuvliga mördegskakor

LOVELY SHORTBREAD COOKIES

Ljuvliga mördegskakor

22 cookies

3½ oz butter or margarine,

straight from the fridge

1.2 cup flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 egg yolk

Flavoring:

0.3 to 0.4 cup raisins

or 1½ tablespoons cocoa

or 0.4 cup almonds

Preheat oven to 392F.

Choose the flavoring you want. Almonds should be scalded and chopped and the raisins chopped. Cut the fat in pieces and finely divide it in the flour, mixed with sugar. Add egg yolk and flavoring. If you choose the cocoa, reduce the amount of flour correspondingly. Shape to a dough and leave in the fridge for a short while.

Cut the dough in pieces and roll into balls. Place on a paper-lined baking plate and flatten them out a little with your thumb. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 14 minutes.

Store in a jar with a tight lid.

Enjoy!
