Amazing! These spiced Swiss roll cookie slices are to die for! Hope you like them! (Pictures are posted to help you understand)
This recipe is kinda un-ordinary. You see it’s weird in a sense that it’s AWESOME!! If you love cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar combined, you will love these cookies!
This recipe is very complicated. Well… was. The first time I made this I wanted it to be a challenge. That didn’t work. It got so hard that it ended up not working. After many tries, (2) I finally made a simple version of my original recipe!
Origin of this recipe: it was intended to be a Swedish dessert roll. That didn’t work. I decided to try it again and slice it before I baked it! Therefore, cookies!
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup shortening (I use crisco)
- 2 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Steps
Beat butter and shortening
Add 1 1/8 cup flour, both sugars, egg, spices, baking soda, and vanilla
Beat well
Add remaining flour (1 1/8 cup)
Roll dough into a 7 x2 in roll
Rap your roll with tin foil or press and seal
Refrigerate for 5-24 hours (I only did 4)
Slice the roll into thick cookie slices
Bake at 375 for 8 minutes
Cool on a wire rack and…
Enjoy!
Notes: refrigerating is very important in this recipe! Do not skip it! When cutting your Swiss roll into cookie slices, use a sharp knife and a sawing motion. (Back and forth). If at first your mixture won’t hold together, add 1 tablespoon of milk!
Optional additions: add sliced almond slices. Top with jelly. Eat raw (don’t add egg). Add canned mandarin oranges. Add nuts of your choice.
