  7. Swedish tea cookies • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). • Cut 1 cup of the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the cream and form the dough into a ball. • Roll dough out 1/2 inch thick and cut with a small round cutter. Roll cut circles in granulated sugar and place on ungreased cookies sheets. Prick cookies a few times with a fork. • Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 8 to 10 minutes. Let cookies cool before frosting. • To Assemble: Frost bottoms of half of the cookies and place the remaining cookies on top to make sandwich cookies. • To Make Buttercream Frosting: Beat 1/2 cup of the butter until fluffy. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar. Beat in the evaporated milk and the vanilla. Adjust milk and confectioners' sugar amounts to get buttercream to a good spreading consistency. • 1 cup butter • 2 cups all-purpose flour • 1/3 cup light cream • 1/3 cup granulated sugar for decoration • 1/2 cup butter • 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar • 3 tablespoons evaporated milk • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • http://www.yummly.com/recipe/external/Swedish-Tea-Cookies-Allrecipes

Hidden in it is an almond; the person who finds it in his or her bowl is believed to marry in the coming year. The custom is similar to the tradition of having "lillejulaften" in Norway.Read more at http://www.theholidayspot.com/christmas/worldxmas/sweden.htm#qBEwKT7WeRCvR5ej.99
