Anyone get up early this morning to serve coffee and buns to their family members? Did you all break Pepperakrakor into three equal parts in your hand for good luck? I have a lot of fun with folks doing that at my shows, trying to see how many can do it. I found some 'Swedish' recipes in my Southern Living Cookies and Candy Book, but I don't know how accurate they are. I've never heard of Swedish Wedding Cookies. I do like Mexican Wedding Cookies, part of the Las Posadas Celebration, and I'm not sure what makes this version Swedish, but they do sound good:
1/4 lb. butter (oh boy)
2/3 c. sugar
1 egg, slightly beaten
Pinch of salt
1 c. chopped dates
1 tsp. vanilla
2 c. oven-toasted rice cereal
3/4 c. chopped walnuts
1 c. flaked coconut
Combine the butter, sugar, egg, salt and dates in a saucepan and cook for 7 - 10 minutes or until thick. Remove from heat. Add the vanilla, cereal and walnuts and blend well. Form into small balls and roll in coconut. Chill.

That is a lot of butter, but darn that sounds good!
