So glad to hear you enjoyed! We're big fans of these cookies, too.

So the recipe mentions both sliced almonds and ground almonds - 1/4 cup of each. I used sliced rather than slithered as they are wider but thinner and I find easier to cut through when you slice the cookies, but slithered should also work, too. Hope you enjoy!

It certainly wouldn't surprise me if there is some overlap, particularly if she was of Northern German descent. Traditions don't really follow borders 🙂 Hope you give them a try and enjoy!

How lovely to find this. It seems very similar to a recipe passed down to me from my great grandma of German heritage. I just might try this variation.

Sorry only just saw this - aI used orange marmalade, but you could use others. A jam such as apricot would probably be OK, but it won't have quite the same sweet-tart flavor and texture so I'd recommend marmalade if you can.

Yes it is pretty soft if it's still warm. I find you can use the plastic wrap to mould the dough, but you can also let it cool a bit first.

I found the dough incredibly soft and difficult to roll into the plastic wrap. Perhaps I should have let it cool a bit first.

We can get candied peel here during the festive season, but I've never been as convinced by the quality compared to what I was used to in the UK (I should really just make it), but great if you can get it. And yes, I believe golden syrup is pretty close (and I can get it more easily here these days as well) but I definitely like the maple in there so do suggest trying it!

They really are so tasty!

They're a really tasty one to try!

I have to say, I think I have always liked spice flavors and especially so now. Hope you enjoy these!

They are definitely an instant favorite of mine, such a great flavor.

Thank you! They are such a great cookie, definitely worth trying!

I really love the mix of flavors in these, and slice and bake are great.

Perfect indeed, do give them a try!

It's a fun idea, right? These have such fantastic flavors.

Me too, you can make some great discoveries and these are definitely one I instantly loved.

Thanks, Liz!

Thanks Tara, they are one of many tasty things in there!

Thanks, Johanne, the smells were indeed great (and taste, too!)

Thanks Gaila, the spices really make them something special!

Thanks Camilla, it's kind of a substitute but works really well!

Thanks, Renee, they are really tasty and the spies are so good!

Thanks, Sarah, they are. The marmalade is easier in many ways as you don't ned to chop it finely but has the same underlying flavor.

This cookies sound wonderful! I love all the spices on your recipe!
