"There is a little country church overlooking a nearby lake that was started 175 years ago by Norwegian immigrants. As part of the 175th celebration, we're having a get together there featuring Norwegian treats. This is a recipe I found that will fit the bill!"

These are super good cookies. They're soft with a delightlful almond flavor. I thought they might be a tad difficult to make, but the whole thing went together rather easily and quickly. I made them for our annual Christmas party, and I think they're going to go quite fast. I will make these again, and next time I'll chop the almonds a little bit more for easier slicing effort (the bigger almond slices resisted the blade a bit when I cut the cooled batch into individual bar cookies). Thanks for a great recipe, Linky.

What flavorsome buttery cookies these are! Love the subtle almond flavor that rings throughout. I wound up having to place the 4 rolls in the refrigerator for a bit before rolling them out, but everything following came out perfect. These are great with tea and coffee. All of us in the family found these delectable. Thank you Linky for sharing!
