Holland Butter Cookies image

My great-grandmother's Holland butter cookies have been passed down in my family from generation to generation. This recipe uses only five ingredients that are usually already in the house. For different holidays, I swap the almonds for cherries, walnuts or ginger. -Tineke De Rosa, Blairstown, New Jersey

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I often have egg whites left over from making other recipes, and these cookies are the perfect way to use them up.
