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 bit too plain for my taste. I think I'll try adding some chocolate chips or dried cranberries next time.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding an extra egg yolk next time.

I'm not a huge fan of walnuts, so I substituted chopped pecans instead. They turned out great!

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
