Actually, what I was making initially, were my Aunt's Sandbakkels (a scandinavian christmas cookie made in a speciality sandbakkle or tart mold) The recipe happens to be identical. Don't hesitate to make these plain, as they are just delicious and taste very much like that Walker's Shortbread cookie that I love. The molded cookies didn't work out so well for me as the dough was too tender and broke apart getting them out of the mold. For the molded cookie, the dough needs to be worked or kneaded more. Frankly, I like cookies more tender, so the slice and bake route allowed for the gentle handing and made a perfectly crisp and tender cookie. I made these yesterday without any of the add-ins.

I made the lemon poppy seed version with a little lemon extract thrown in. The resulting cookies were WONDERFUL. The lemon flavor and the crunch of the poppy seeds was a delicious combination, and the texture of the cookie was amazing. So crumbly and delicate. I can't wait to experiment more with this recipe!

But I really must for smittenkitchen. LOVE it. First love were pictures - oh, so YUMMY looking, and they did a wonderful job of tempting me to try... Throughout the summer I often found myself clicking through your recipes just to check out the pictures - no joke. Upon closer perusal, I was so happy to see thorough, clearly written directions (I'm a novice!) - even more encouraging. I finally tried a few recipes - first, just the sweet (just stuck the slice and bake dough in the fridge, 2nd time to make! My husband actually requested these cookies after the success of my first attempt (chopped up golden raisins the first time, this time with toffee - had no gallon ziplocks, so couldn't make the espresso shortbread...actually I was down to the very last of my plastic wrap and might have to just drop the chilled dough - Rachel's comment makes me think this'll work). Last night I made your Arroz Con Pollo and followed Nathan's tips. My husband is Cuban and he REALLY LIKED it. On TOP of that, I've been teased about my inability to properly cook rice. Not last night. He asked for MORE! Crazy. Very cool. I so happy last night! Like SO happy. Kind of ridiculous, but true. Thank you, thank you. I love your style. Your approach and your writing makes cooking less daunting - but even as a novice you make it FUN. Very worthwhile. I NEVER (except for once in 2001) post comments.

I've never used this type of recipe for making cookies before, but I can see me using it a great deal more often. I made these today using glace cherries and almond extract and they were delicious.

The recipe should be in your own words and with your own pictures, and credit Smitten Kitchen as the place you found it. Glad you liked them.
