Fabulous! I love buttery, melt-in-your-mouth cookies, and these didn't fail to impress me. I did ½ cup butter and ½ cup margarine (ran out of butter!) and followed the rest of the recipe, except I sprinkled turbinado (like large-grain brown sugar) on top and put whole almonds in a decorative pattern. Yum, yum, yum! Don't be concerned about the number of steps, this is a super-fast recipe! Try it! Thanks for sharing, Sandra!

These are really tasty. I made them because my husbands family is Dutch. My husband said they were really good. i am going to try them out on my father-in-law tonight. Hopefully he likes them just as much. Thanks for the recipe. I have been looking for some dutch baking recipes for the holidays for a few years now.

This cookie/bar was turned out pretty well, and keeps nicely. I had to bake it for almost 35 minutes before it was finished.

I went in search of a cookie recipe for my son's project fair when he needed one from the Netherlands. Ran across this one and tried it and WOW what a hit! All the kids and parents were gathered around his project display and munching away. Everyone loved them. Hubby said the only thing he would like different is to drizzle warm honey on the top so next time I make them I might do that for him. Excellent job, thanks for sharing! Edited on July 1st...My son, who is on a European adventure with People to People, called me last night from Switzerland! They will be home on Wednesday. All of his friends that ate these cookies at the above mentioned project fair were asking him to call home and have me make some for them to have as soon as they got back. Now how is that for rave reviews! Didn't call to say hello, but called for THIS cookie!

good cookie...reminded me when i was young and the dutch bakker would come to our house to bring us these cookies. The only issue I had was the time in the oven. I had them in there at least for 35 min. not 20...did anyone else have this problem???

THESE ARE INCREDIBLE! So easy and sooooooo good! I just used an average glass casserole dish, and it worked out fine. These were halfway between a cookie and a cake, but they cut very easily and held their shape. This recipe would make a divine crust. Highly recommended! So easy and quick, and the almond taste is gourmet--reminiscent of marzipan. I'll be making these again. THANKS!!

I had to invent a pan to bake this in and I also had to cook it for about 10 minute longer. Having said that, the biscuits tasted great. I didn't cut them into regular sizes, but instead broke the 'cake' into pieces. Everyone at work loved them and I'm taking some to my Dutch class tonight!!!

This buttery bar cookie is simple to make and surprisingly delicious and addictive. I include this cookie when I'm putting together a cookie tray - it provides a nice balance to the more complex and "heavier" cookies.
