Cookies Around the World 1 of 5 image

This is a great recipe for variety (English, French, German, Finnish, Italian, Swedish, Norwegian, Turkish, Mexican, Greek). I have split them two to a recipe but if you want them all, there are 5 separate recipes. They are made from one basic cookie dough. I think some of them may be posted individually but at Christmas I make the entire variety. Each batch of basic dough makes a batch of two of the cookies with the ingredients I have listed.

I'm not a big fan of ginger, but these cookies are an exception. They're the perfect balance of sweet and spicy.

These cookies are a bit too spicy for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try using less chili powder next time.

These cookies are really good, but they're a bit too time-consuming to make. I think I'll only make them on special occasions.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and crispy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

These cookies are a bit too chewy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them for a few minutes less next time.

I was disappointed with these cookies. They were dry and crumbly. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

The cookies turned out great! They were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I added a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg to the batter for extra flavor.

I've tried several different recipes for chocolate chip cookies, but this one is by far my favorite. The cookies are chewy and soft, with just the right amount of chocolate chips. I highly recommend this recipe!
