The sweet and imaginative Clivia of Clivia’s Cuisine has taken to offering her readers a new Swedish word along with each post. In exchange for visiting her lovely site, you can learn the meaning of a new word.
Now I’m not exactly sure when I developed my love of all things Swedish, but I must confess that I am fascinated with the country, its culture and its food. I have a wonderful friend who lives in Stockholm (Hello, I!) and dream of visiting her one day.
In Swedish, that’s till dröm.
What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than curled up on the couch, under the warmest blanket, with a plate of dreams by your side and a lovely cup of tea as well. And by plate of dreams I mean a plate of Drommar Cookies, one of my very favourite cookies in the world!
A cookie, a sip of tea, a nap and a dream … I think I’ll spend the rest of the day repeating this regimen.
Ciao!
Drommar Cookies
Recipe is from Elizabeth Wigg Maxwell and is posted on Epicurious.
Click here for the recipe.
Note: These cookies are incredible! I discovered them one day when I was trying to figure out what to do with a huge stash of sweetened, flaked coconut. I searched the Epicurious database (such a wonderful resource!), and found these cookies.
They were a hit from the first time that I made them. They are buttery and full of coconut. The exterior of the cookie is crispy and the inside is chewy and so good! You will love them. I promise!
Now I must return to my dreams …

To dream is “Ã¥ drömme” in Swedish. Same as Norwegian though we write it “Ã¥ drømme”.
Swedish and Norwegian are very similar

“A cookie, a sip of tea, a nap and a dream … I think I’ll spend the rest of the day repeating this regimen.” — Me too! That sounds lovely, and so do those cookies

Dear creampuff, if you ever come here I will treat you to a “full Swedish” with 7 kinds of cookies, cakes and pastries!
Drommar are a favourite of mine as well but I have never tried baking them myself. The texture is so fantastic!

How funny I happened upon this recipe a few years back and wanted to make them but didn’t want to hunt down the ammonium carbonate! These do look like a dream.
Mama T
