It's impossible to eat just one of these treats. Naturally, they're a favorite with my Swedish husband and children—but anyone with a sweet tooth will appreciate them. My recipe is "well-traveled" among our friends and neighbors.

I make these over and over again.

These have good flavor, but they are fragile. They crumble fairly easily.

Be careful not to over-bake. They brown quickly. I bake at 275º.

May need to add a bit more flour (1/4 cup).

Easy to make with ingredients on-hand AND they're delicious! I always get complements on these and they go quickly!
