  1. I made them. They came out a lil hard but still amazing.
     
  2. So good and easy. Made as posted with seedless raspberry jam. YUM! Thanks for posting Crafty. Made for Let's P-A-R-T-Y! ~2010
     
  3. What a great, traditional cookie recipe! I made this for a couple of friends today to get them into the holiday mood and they really enjoyed these classic cookies! :)<br/>I made half the recipe which gave me 17 big cookies that spread out quite a bit during baking.<br/>For the jam I used wild blueberry and in half of the cookies strawberry-guave. Both were received well and looked very pretty.<br/>Your directions were easy to follow and the baking time spot on. I think Ill add this simple yet elegant and tasty recipe to my cookie routine. It surely is a winner!<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this wonderful recipe with us, Crafty Lady!<br/>Made and reviewed for the Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap #46 November 2010.
     
  4. What a delight these exquisite little cookies are. Think shortbread that is so tender and flaky that they truly do melt in your mouth. They should be harder to make for the wonderful results that you get. The only reason that take the 35 mins is because you need to hand form each one which is certainly not at all difficult and the reward for your patience is so much more than worth it. Made for the Holiday Cookie Exchange in Photo Tag.
     
  5. My grandfather who was so very proud of his Swedish heritage would have loved these. These are amazingly simple and the flavor is outstanding! I was going to glaze them but after tasting them that would be like guilding the lily. I used Krakus Strawberry preserves, I would recommend one with out alot of chunks of fruit in it. I am going to the Danish bakery in town to purchase some ligonberry preserves for my next batch. I did get closer to 60 cookies when I baked mine....also take care not to let them brown too much, they are also a little soft when they come off the cookie sheet, but will firm up.

<p>Update: &nbsp;I have changed my profile picture in honor of my dear best friend and loyal companion that I lost to cancer on 6/25/11. Maxx was the best dog that anyone could ever hope to have in their life. &nbsp;Until we meet again, sweet boy, you will be forever in my heart and memories. I currently live in the country with two dogs (a 12 pound&nbsp;poodle mix&nbsp;named Suki and a new member to the family, a 7-month old(?) 7.5 pound terrier mix named Angel ). &nbsp; I got Angel from the dog pound a week after I lost my beloved Maxx. &nbsp;Suki and I both needed a new companion to help us cope with our loss. &nbsp;Nothing will ever replace Maxx, but she has helped to uplift Suki's spirit. I am a secretary for a county school board. I love to cook, bake, crochet, paint, sew, read and anything to do with crafts. I was born in Tokyo,Japan. My father was in the Air Force and my moher was Japanese. I love to cook (and eat) a variety of foods from many different nations. I especially like trying out new recipes and experimenting with both old and new recipes. I also love participating in the great Zaar events like the tag games, recipe swaps, and Zaar World Tours. I recently participated in my first RSC contest. I have definitely had a lot of fun since joining Recipezaar. Update - September 20, 2007 I am proud to announce that I have just been blessed with my first grandchild. My son and daughter-in-law have given me a beautiful little granddaughter. &nbsp;[URL=http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x147/Crafty_Lady_13/?action=view&curren;t=f6fd3ae3.pbw][IMG]http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x147/Crafty_Lady_13/th_102_0365-1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Make Reservation Online Create your own visitor map *************************************************** [Reply]</p>
