This recipe was soooo yummy. Both of my parents are from the Netherlands, my mom use to make Boterkoek when I was a little girl. We still have her recipe but the measurements are in dutch and was very hard for me to convert.. I made this for my Mom and she loved it, said it tasted just like her recipe.. Thank you

As soon as I saw this recipe I had to make it for my visiting Dutch relatives. I had hoped that it would be like traditional Dutch Almond Boterkoek and it was! We thought we were in Holland! The realatives took the simple recipe home with them. We will definitely be making this simple and tasty recipe again and again. Thank Ashbow for sharing this Dutch Treat!

My name is Ashley... I have a daughter who is 14 months old and a loving fiance. I'm here to improve my cooking skills, as I can barely manage dinner sometimes! I love to bake, though. Someday, I'll be able to cook every recipe I've saved from here... which is over a thousand.
Most recipes I put up are one's I find from books or online; some are for me to remember later on.
***If you really loved a recipe, plan to make it again, and had no complaints... DON'T GIVE IT JUST 4 STARS! Give the recipe its deserved 5 stars.****
With that in mind, if you're going to post a picture of the finished meal/food you just reviewed, at least make it look appealing with better lighting! I've seen some horrible pictures that turned me away completely from making something on here, even though I'm sure the food tastes great.
