SWEDISH HEIRLOOM COOKIES
This classic holiday cookie from Southern Living will melt in your mouth. The extra vanilla amount combines great with the almonds. You can divide the dough and tint in different colors before you shape. They freeze wonderfully, too.

[email protected]I was really excited to try these cookies, but I was disappointed. The dough was very sticky and difficult to work with, and the cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be making these cookies again.
