Finnish Shortbread Sticks With A Twist: Spelt Flour Cookies

Imagine a not-too-sweet melt-in-your-mouth cookie. This is Finnish Shortbread Stick Cookies called Finska Pinnar in Swedish; a popular butter cookie sold in most bakeries in Sweden. This is a classic shortbread butter cookie. Sue Maree P style I have changed the traditional recipes and created my recipe with a blend of ground almonds, white spelt flour, and little sugar. There are many recipes using only wheat flour and more sugar. I like the balance of almonds and spelt flour and not too sweet. I have made them both with unsalted and salted butter. Also if you don't have access to bitter almond essence add vanilla essence instead.
