This came from Elena Zelayeta's Elena's Secrets of Mexican Cooking. She claims, though, that she is not the Elena of the title, but that this is a popular cookie in Mexico. Kids like the nonpareils Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
2/3 cup sugar |
3 egg yolks |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |

1/4 cup nonpareils |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Beat the butter, sugar, egg yolks and vanilla extract together.
3. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt, and sift them into the butter mixture. Stir to make a smooth dough.
4. Shape the dough into small balls. Poke your thumb in the center of each ball to make a hole, and shape into rings.
5. Dip each ring in nonpareils.
6. Bake on lightly greased cookie sheets for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned.
