Cover a large piece of wax paper with a generous layer of sugar. Using a spatula, transfer cookie rounds on to the sugar. Carefully turn each cookie round to coat both sides with sugar. Place on coated cookie on an ungreased cookie sheet and prick each round with a fork 3 or 4 times.

When cookies are cool, spread approximately 1/2 teaspoon Creamy Filling on a cookie, then press another cookie against the filling to make sandwiches. Repeat with remaining cookies.

I would like to know what is Swedish about these? I have been unable to find an actual Swedish equivalent of this.

I have made these for years. Original recipe was from the Pream (coffee creamer jar). The cookies need to be rolled very thin (1/8”) for best results. Yum! Also use almond flavoring in the filling instead of vanilla.
