These are sweet Swiss cookies. We usually make them for Weihnachten (Christmas Eve) and top them with sprinkles but they are appropriate year-round.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Mailänderli cookies turned out flat and dense. They didn't have the light and airy texture that everyone else is talking about.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as expected. They were too dry and crumbly.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.
