SWEDISH HEIRLOOM COOKIES

I could not find a date on the old cookbook from where I first got this recipe. It did have a price of 15 cents factory printed on the front cover so it is obviously very old.


Bake at 325 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes.

Cream......1 cup butter. Gradually add 1 cup unsifted confectioners' sugar and 1/2 tsp salt, creaming well.
Add........1 1/4 cups almonds, ground, and 1 tablespoon vanilla.
Blend in...2 cups sifted all-purpose flour* gradually, mix thoroughly.
Shape......dough into balls or crescents, using a rounded teaspoonful for each cookie
Place on ungreased baking sheets. If desired,sprinkle with colored candies
Bake.......in 325 degree oven 15 to 18 minutes. Cookies will not be brown when done.

*If you are using self-rising flour (sold in parts of the south), omit the salt.
If you did not decorate the cookies, you may roll them in confectioners' sugar while they are warm.
Makes about 4 1/2 dozen. could not find a date on the old cookbook from where I first got this recipe. It did have a price of 15 cents factory printed on the front cover so it is obviously very old.
