Norwegian Butter Cookies image

This recipe goes back over 20 years, using the highest quality butter will make a huge taste difference to these cookies, I like to add in a pinch of cinnamon, coating in the confectioners sugar is only optional --- these cookies may also be made using a cookie press fitted with a star, stick a small maraschino cherry into the middle of the cookie before baking if desired

I'm not a big fan of butter cookies, but these are really good. They're not too sweet and they have a nice, buttery flavor.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted almond flour for the wheat flour. The cookies turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out flat and dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.
