Judebrod (you-de-brod with an umlaut) -- Swedish Christmas cookies
Judy Anderson

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
3.5 cup flour
2 oz. whipping cream
2 eggs
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. cardamom
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. allspice

Cream butter, add sugar, eggs, and beat well.  Sift or stir together
other dry ingredients.  Gradually add to wet mixture alternating with
cream until thoroughly mixed.  Chilled dough in fridge for about an
hour.  Roll out and use cookie cutters.  Sprinkle cookies with
cinnamon sugar, and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.

I got this recipe from my mother, who I believe got it from her
mother, who was a Swede!  So it's even authentic.  (Well, I think the
whipping cream was instead skimmed off the top of the milk, but you
can't have everything with modern times.)
