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.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but these cookies turned out terrible.

These cookies were a disaster! They spread out too much and were completely flat.

The cookies were too dry. I should have taken them out of the oven a few minutes sooner.

These cookies were a bit bland. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.
