Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 1 cup + 1 ½ Tbsp (250g) unsalted butter, room temp
  • 2/3 cup (132g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temp
  • 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt

Lingonberry Filling:

  • 4 to 6 Tbsp (72g to 108g) Hafi Lingonberry Preserves

Glaze (Optional):

  • ¾ cup (85g) confectioners’ sugar, sifted
  • 1 ½ Tbsp water

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium-high until light and fluffy.
  2. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until thoroughly combined.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to butter mixture, mixing until it’s almost all incorporated. Scrape down bowl. Repeat two more times with rest of flour mixture.
  5. Chill dough in fridge for 15–30 minutes.
  6. Heat oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Retrieve dough from fridge. Divide dough into 4 equal chunks (about 205g each).
  8. Start to roll one dough chunk into a dough snake. Transfer to baking sheet and continue rolling out until dough snake is 15–16" wide. Repeat with remaining dough chunks, and you should end up with 2 dough snakes on each baking sheet.
  9. Slightly flatten each dough snake (to about 1" wide). Using your pinky finger, make an indentation along the length of the dough in the centre.
  10. Fill each indentation with a tablespoon (or a heaping tablespoon) of lingonberry preserves.
  11. Bake cookies for about 12 minutes until edges are set and golden.
  12. Transfer pan to wire rack.
  13. For the optional glaze, in a bowl, whisk together confectioners’ sugar and water. Drizzle or spread over warm cookies, if desired.
  14. While cookies are still warm, cut into ¾-inch diagonal slices. Allow to cool completely on baking sheet.
    NOTE: If you delay cutting the cookies, they will crumble more when you slice them, so make sure to cut while cookies are warm.
  15. Enjoy with coffee or tea when you fika!
