Norwegian Butter Cookies image

This recipe goes back over 20 years, using the highest quality butter will make a huge taste difference to these cookies, I like to add in a pinch of cinnamon, coating in the confectioners sugar is only optional --- these cookies may also be made using a cookie press fitted with a star, stick a small maraschino cherry into the middle of the cookie before baking if desired

I've tried many Norwegian butter cookie recipes and this one is by far the best. The cookies are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
