HOLLAND BUTTER COOKIES

My great-grandmother's Holland butter cookies have been passed down in my family from generation to generation. This recipe uses only five ingredients that are usually already in the house. For different holidays, I swap the almonds for cherries, walnuts or ginger. -Tineke De Rosa, Blairstown, New Jersey
