COOKIES AROUND THE WORLD 4 OF 5
This is a great recipe for variety (English, French, Greek, German, Flemish, 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.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will be. This means using real butter, sugar, and eggs, as well as high-quality flour and baking powder.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the cookies, making them light and airy.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The temperature of the oven will vary depending on the recipe, so be sure to follow the instructions carefully.
