SANDBAKKELS (NORWEGIAN ALMOND COOKIES)



Sandbakkels (Norwegian Almond Cookies) image

This is a traditional Norwegian cookie. It is made by pressing the dough into Sandbakkel tins. If you don't have sandbakkel tins, miniature fluted tartlet pans would work as well. If you google "Sandbakkel tins", you will see what they look like. Recipe from my hometown's Centennial Cookbook.

1 cup butter

1 teaspoon almond extract
