My Great Grandmothers Elsa Cinnamon Cookies

This is a Swedish recipe and I will convert the measurements to cups and tbls. However you will find that many cup measurements have dl or ml on them 1dl is 100 ml. If you are at IKEA you can find the dl measurements there.

Tant Elsas Kanelskorpor/ Aunt Elsas Cinnamon cookies

2 ägg/eggs
2 dl socker/ 0.85 cup sugar
80 gr smör/ 5.60 tbls butter
6 dl vetemjöl/ 2.54 cup flower
2 tsk bakpulver/ tsp baking powder.

Swedish ;
Vispa ägg o socker. Smält smöret, röres i sist. Mjöl o bakpulver blandas. Dela degen i 3 delar och rulla 3 längder. Lägg på smord plåt. Tryck ut en fåra i mitten och strö i socker o kanel.
Gräddas i 225 grader tills de fått lite färg. När längderna svalnat skär ut kakor på snedden.

English:

Divide the mixture in to 3 parts roll them out to 3 rolls. Put them on a baking sheet drag a small spoon in the middle of each one. Sprinkle Cinnamon and sugar in the line made in the middle of each roll. Bake them in the middle 437 F until they get some color.
