I really enjoyed how dense this dessert was...it was just a bit chewy, which my family and I loved.

This was pretty good, I liked it a bit more when it was slightly warm as opposed to cooled/room temp. It was easy to make and I wouldn't mind making this again at some point.

Sooo good. A little sugar on top would be good for next time. I haven't had this in a long time and it came out exactly like I remembered it. I baked it for right about 35min and it browned nicely :) Thanks for the great recipe! My husband tried it today and liked it, too. It's just how he remembers it being. His grandparents are Dutch immigrants.

I fixed this for a family dinner and it got rave reviews!!! Then I brought the leftovers to work and the same thing happened. The only thing I changed was the removal of the baking powder. My mother never used that in her recipe and we are all from Holland. Thanks to Allison for giving me back a recipe I had lost. One more thing. I only baked it 25 minutes and it came out perfect.

LOVED this- thanks so much for the recipe! My husband's family is Dutch, and when he tasted this, he said it reminded him of his grandmother-- best compliment ever :) thanks again!

I give this 3.5 stars! Tastes very much like a sugar cookie. Good, easy, and you most likely have everything on hand.

I would have given this 5 stars but the name is misleading. My husband and I thought that this would be similar to a dutch butter pound cake. This recipe is actually perfect for making kano coekjes (canoe cookies) which are another dutch dessert. They are typically long bar cookies with almonds on the top.

I've made this twice now, once back in February and then again today. It is an alright accompaniment to a cup of tea but not something I would make for company or serve on its own.

This was very easy to make! I was however uncertain about whether it was the correct texture since I had never had it before. After removing it from the pan and cutting it, my fears were allayed. I enjoyed this quick recipe, and although I really like the taste of Almond, in my opinion, the almond taste was really overwhelming. Our dinner guest was openly verbal about it being too "almondy" :-( The texture however is really interesting, and nice for munching! I will definitely try this again, but I will significantly decrease the amount of Almond extract. In my opinion just a hint of almond would make this the perfect coffee time treat. Thanks for sharing!
