Ingredients

• 200 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 300 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 240 milliliters heavy whipping cream
• 50 grams powdered sugar
• 100 grams strawberries, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease Sandbakkel tins or tart molds and set them aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the egg and almond extract until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour into the mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft, pliable dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Step 5

Once chilled, divide the dough into small portions. Press each portion evenly into the Sandbakkel tins, forming a thin crust.

Step 6

Place the tins on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 7

Allow the cookies to cool completely in the tins before gently removing them. Set the cookie shells aside.

Step 8

To make the strawberry cream: In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

Step 9

Gently fold in the finely chopped strawberries until evenly distributed.

Step 10

Spoon or pipe the strawberry cream into the cooled Sandbakkel shells, filling each shell generously.

Step 11

Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to let the strawberry cream set slightly.

Step 12

Serve chilled and enjoy these elegant Swedish treats!
