In reply to Kati. Thanks for your kind comment. Merry Christmas from The Netherlands to you. Soft sugar is a kind of 'white muscovado sugar' called 'witte basterd suiker' in Dutch. When you can not get a white version in your country, you can substitute it with a light brown muscovado sugar. Icing sugar will not work, as this will give a different softer texture to the cookie.

Hi, thank you very much for this recipe and the wonderful website! Thanks to a job I am kind of stuck in rural Chile at the moment and I miss European bakeries! There are quite wonderful cakes here, too – but it’s not the same. And although there are so many baking sites on the web, looking at yours is a bit like wandering through a huge European bakery shop, which can be very comforting at times (and the recipes do work!) . So, again, thank you again and merry Christmas from Chile!
PS: before I forget, what is soft sugar? Can I use icing sugar?
