i have always wondered how do the local bakery make their sugar cookies….not the ones that you see at the grocery stores that are thick and slabbed down with icing…the cookies im talking about are the ones that are sorda brown in color, and when you bite into them, they are not really sweet except for the dried icing. i want to make cookies like that..can someone help me out?

This is a very specific, yet somehow vague question . . . I will do my best to answer it, but if i miss and don’t get you the info you are looking for, then shoot me a message and I will try to help you further.
I am guessing that the type of cookie you are wondering about Kringla, Krumkaker, or a some similar type of scandanavian cookie, which are usually not very sweet, and can be formed like cones, thin wafers or nearly like pretzels.
here is a recipe for Kingla:
1/2 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1 egg
1 c. buttermilk with
1 tsp. soda, dissolved
3 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla
Salt (optional)
Cream butter, sugar and egg, adding ingredients alternately with buttermilk and soda. Add vanilla. Chill overnight, at least 12 hours. Flour pastry cloth. Drop 1 teaspoon dough in flour. Roll pencil thin. Form figure 8’s. Bake on greased cookie sheet at 375 degrees until light brown. Brush excess flour from Kringlas with soft paper towel before storing. Yields 3 1/2 dozen.
HOPE THAT HELPS!! (if not then let me know, ok!)
EXCELLENT LUCK!
