Danish Aristocrats

Excellent Christmas recipe. I have made these every year since 1992 when I found the recipe in BC Woman to Woman Magazine it was credited to Mrs M.H. Wilkinson. I have not changed anything in the recipe it is excellent the way it is. For variety add a 1/2 tsp Almond extract orfresh ground nutmeg or finely grated orange peel. Try the original first tho you won't be disappointed

Using a wooden spoon stir flour into the creamed butter mixture.5
Work in the nuts until evenly distributed.6

Slice the dough into 1/4" slices and place 1" apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.8

Easy to make cookie. Made the holiday cookie exchange a quick project instead of an all-day cooking event. It didn't make 8 dozen cookies however. I did the recipe for 12 dozen and ended up with just over 9 dozen. Everyone loved the result. More than a few said it was their favorite of the 18 cookies there.

I made these for a class assignment and they turned out great! Everyone asked me where I found the recipe, trade secret... Although, you shouldn't have "Heat oven 375F degrees." if we have to refrigerate them. :D

Bergy, those cookies are great. They are so easy to make, especially at times when you need a lot of cookies, such as Christmas. I followed the recipe and did what one reviewer suggested and used my hands to work in the flour. I think that made it easier and quicker. I also drizzled half of them with a little bit of melted milk chocolate when they cooled. Thanks for sharing!
