JAN HAGEL-DUTCH ALMOND COOKIE

The recipe came from my husband's grandma, or Beppe. She knew they were my favourite, so every time we went to their house, she would make sure that she had some on hand and then send some home with me! I am lucky in that she shared her recipe with me, too. They are remarkably quick to make and to disappear.

JAN HAGEL COOKIES (DUTCH HOLIDAY)

My parents came from the Netherlands to the US in the late 50's. I grew up with Dutch food which is very peasant, but the pastries and cookies are something else. My mother always made these at Christmas time. They are very simple and have a delightful spice flavor.
