Posted in reply to a request for a Danish butter cookie recipe. This recipe is from my old (1973) "Common Market Cookbook/Denmark." The yield for this recipe isn't given in the book and its been so long since I've made them, I really don't remember how many cookies it makes. PLEASE NOTE: This recipe uses vanilla essence which is much stronger than triple-strength vanilla extract! If you are using regular strength vanilla extract, then 1 Tablespoon (or a bit more "to taste" ) should do it.

Ingredients

  • plain flour18 ounces
  • baking powder1⁄2 teaspoon
  • butter13 ounces
  • sugar9 ounces
  • blanched almonds, minced4 ounces
  • egg1
  • vanilla essence3 drops

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Work all ingredients together and let the dough stand for 20 minutes, in a cool place.

  2. 2

    Put dough into a pastry bag or cloth and press/roll dough into long thin rolls.

  3. 3

    Cut rolls into equal sized pieces (about 5-6 inches long) and on a well-greased cookie sheet, form each piece into a small ring slightly overlapping the cut ends.

  4. 4

    Bake in a fairly hot (400°F, 200°C, GM 6) oven for 10 minutes or until light brown.
