This traditional recipe has been in the family for years. Every Christmas, friends and family expect to see these attractive and delicious cookies on the table. I always happily oblige! Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
2 eggs, separated |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2-1/3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup finely chopped walnuts |
1/2 to 2/3 cup jam or jelly of your choice |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Gradually add flour and mix well. Roll into 1-in. balls. Beat egg whites until foamy.
2. Dip each ball halfway into egg whites, then into walnuts. Place nut side up 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, make an indentation in the center of each.
3. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks. Fill with jam; cool. Yield: 5-1/2 dozen.
