Vaniljhorn (Swedish Vanilla Horns Cookies)

Ingredients

  • 14 tbsp butter, cold (1 ¾ sticks) (200g)
  • 2 tbsp vanilla sugar (see link to our recipe below) (or substitute with 2 tbsp granulated sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract)
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup cake flour

For the topping:

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  • Cream together the butter and vanilla sugar until combined and pale in color.
  • Add the flours and mix until just combined.
  • Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least one hour.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and preheat the oven to 350F. Remove small pieces of dough and roll into long, thin cylinders of about ½-inch in thickness. Mold the cylinders into a U-shaped horn, and place them on a baking sheet.
  • Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes. The cookies should not darken noticeably, but should firm up.
  • Once removed from the oven, allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes, so that they do not fall apart when handled, but not entirely to room temperature. Add the granulated sugar to a bowl, and roll each cookie in the sugar topping.
