These are very good. The cookie recipe does not call for any salt or sugar (other than the sugar the cut-out cookie is coated in), so the cookies are rather bland and rich. I would add a bit of salt, and be sure to coat them thoroughly in sugar! The sweetness of the frosting eaten along with it helps too. Also, these cookies are more fragile than some, so don't cut them too thin or they won't hold up when frosting. I used them as lollipop type cookies-on-a-stick, being sure to cut them fairly thick, and they were great.

These are my very favorite cookies. My sister and I made several batches with leaf-shaped cookie cutters for my wedding reception (fall theme). Everyone loved them. I had several requests for the recipe. They also freeze extremely well which is really handy when you need a large amount for an event.

Very simple recipe to make and uses so few ingredients. I have made these cookies for 35 years ever since I found it in an old Swedish cookbook. They are always the first cookie asked for at family affairs and the first cookie gone. They are called the Swedish Cookie in our family. This cookie also is perfect for bridal and baby showers.

Great cookie and it takes me back to my childhood. Kind of time consuming to make but well worth it.

Love this cookie. They are always a staple in my home. I use a small star cookie cutter when I make them to make them even more festive.

I have made these cookies for the last several years at Christmas. They are always a huge hit and the first to disappear from the cookie trays.

I have made this recipe for years, got the recipe out of a Better Homess & Gardens Cookbook many years ago.

Re:Christmas Sandwich cookies I make these at Christmas only. I cut them out with a shot glass so they make more and look dainty. I make Buttercream Frosting: 1/4 cup butter. 3/4 cup powdered sugar,1 teaspoon any flavor extract,1 egg yolk. I color the frosting to coordinate with the flavor. These are a big with my family, friends and coworkers. I usually make 12 or more batches each year.
