Ingredients
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the egg white until frothy but not stiff.
Step 3
Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to beat, until the mixture is pale and glossy, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, then allow it to cool slightly.
Step 5
Sift the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl to ensure even distribution.
Step 6
Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the egg white and sugar mixture, stirring until well combined.
Step 7
Gently fold in the sifted dry ingredients until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 8
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, drop small, evenly spaced portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown while the centers remain pale.
Step 10
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Serve the Swedish Angel Crisps as-is or dust lightly with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
