This makes a pretty Christmas cookie. The original recipe does not give the yield, but I would estimate between 12-36. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter |
1/4 cup evaporated milk |
1/2 teaspoon lemon rind, grated |
1 3/4 cups flour, sifted |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup almonds, finely chopped |
6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar |
1/2 lb candied cherry |
Directions:
1. Cream butter, beat in milk, a little at a time, until all is blended with the butter.
2. Add lemon rind.
3. Sift flour with sugar and salt; gradually add to butter mixture.
4. Add nuts; mix well.
5. Pinch off pieces of dough about a teaspoon at a time.
6. Flatten dough in the palm of your hand; pinch dough up and around the cherry completely.
7. Roll between your palm.
8. place on lightly greased, floured cookie sheet.
9. Bake at 375°F for 12 minutes.
10. Roll in confectioners sugar while still warm.
