Cookies Around the World 5 of 5 image

This is a great recipe for variety (English, French, Greek, German, Finnish, Italian, Swedish, Norwegian, Turkish, Mexican. I have split them up 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.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I might reduce the sugar next time.

Followed the recipe but the cookies spread too much and lost their shape. Not sure what went wrong.

Not a fan of this recipe. The cookies turned out dry and crumbly. Maybe I did something wrong...
