Drmmar Traditional Swedish Dream Cookies
Delightfully light and melt-in-your-mouth tender, Drömmar—traditional Swedish dream cookies—are the perfect balance of simplicity and charm. These classic Scandinavian treats are made with a handful of pantry staples like butter, sugar, and flour, but their signature texture comes from the unique addition of ammonium carbonate (hartshorn), a traditional leavening agent that creates a delicate, airy crumb. With their subtle vanilla aroma and crisp yet soft bite, these cookies are a true testament to the magic of minimalism in baking. Ready in just 35 minutes, they’re ideal for holiday gatherings, cozy coffee breaks, or as a sweet snack to savor any time. Serve these dreamy cookies as they are or alongside tea or coffee for a quintessential Swedish fika experience.

Ingredients
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ammonium carbonate (hartshorn)
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for best results.
Step 3
Mix in the vanilla extract and continue beating until well incorporated.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the ammonium carbonate with the flour. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a smooth dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 24 pieces. Roll each piece into a small ball, and place the balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between them.
Step 6
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes. The cookies should remain pale and should not brown; they are done when the tops look dry and slightly cracked.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on the sheets. They will firm up as they cool.
Step 8
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy with your favorite beverage!
