These cookies have become a staple in my house. I love how easy they are and the flavor.
They remind me of cookies my Grandmother used to make.

These cookies are bland and sort of powdery. I now have 20 or 30 cookies in my house no one wants to eat. I don't recommend them.

This is a definite keeper for years to come. My daughter's Girl scout Troop does an anual cookie exchange and I was worried about what to make; then I found your recipe. It's delicious, easy and fun! Instead of the red and green sugar, we used sprinkles---they look festive and my daughter loves the way they turned out. Thank you!!!!!

The recipe was simple to make and was the favorite on the cookie platter. We love the almond and walnut flavor.

I made these for the first time yesterday. They're like sugar cookies with a kick. The vanilla and almond extracts really make the cookie. I think they're my new favorite. :)

Those are just delicious, they pack well to send overseas to the troops too.
You have to bake, package quickly or the grandchildren are into them right away. So, I make two batches, one at a time so they can enjoy a glass of milk and those Norwegian Cookies like my Mother made. Thank you. Pauline

These cookies are great. My ancestors are from Norway and when my aunt came down from there I made her these cookies; she loved them. Thank you so much for having this recipe on here.
