Made as written for the Scandinavian region of CQ4 & the Happy Campers team - The "wedding cookie" genre covers a lot of geography & regional cuisine. I've played the Tour/Quest events for 12 yrs, many cuisines include the recipe & they're all strikingly alike even in very divergent cuisines. And I understand why they're so popular. Like your recipe, they're just so darn good! They're an easy-fix & everyone loves them. My Mom made them for all our family occasions. I'm so glad I was able to make your recipe as my final effort of CQ4. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. (A pic will post late tonite or tomorrow)
