These are my all-time favorite cookies. The recipe is my mother's. She usually makes them at Christmas, but I say make them anytime. After all, there is no bad time for good cookies. Ingredients:
1 cup butter |
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar |
1 large egg yolk |
2 1/4 cups flour |
3 tablespoons butter |
2 1/4 cups powdered sugar |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
4 -5 teaspoons evaporated milk |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°.
2. Cream 1 cup butter, then slowly add brown sugar and cream well.
3. Blend in egg yolk, then stir in flour.
4. Continue stirring until a ball of dough forms.
5. Chill dough for easier handling.
6. Shape dough into balls the size of large marbles.
7. Flatten each ball of dough to about 1/8 thickness using palm of hand.
8. Mark each cookie by pressing with a fork.
9. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
10. While cookies are baking, slightly brown 3 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan.
11. Remove saucepan from heat and blend in powdered sugar.
