About the dish

Drömmar is a traditional cookie whose name translates to dreams in English. The name is fitting, given the cookie's light, airy, and crumbly texture and melt-in-mouth quality. The main ingredients typically include butter, sugar, flour, and baking ammonia (ammonium bicarbonate). The use of baking ammonia is what gives these cookies their characteristic airy and crumbly texture. They are usually small, round cookies that might have cracks on the surface after baking. Like many Swedish cookies, drömmar can be enjoyed year-round but are often prepared and consumed for special occasions or coffee breaks ( fika ).
