Swedish Butter Cookies image

I got this recipe from my mother who said she's had it so long she no longer remembers where it came from. She always made these at Christmas while I was growing up. I made them last Christmas and used pomegranit jelly. I don't actually know how much jelly is in the recipe, but this site apparently doesn't like that, so I made something up. Use whatever amount you like. They're my favorite cookies!
