We enjoyed these rich, buttery cookies at a bed-and-breakfast in Galena, Illinois, and the hostess was kind enough to share her simple recipe. The pretty nut-topped treats are so special you could give a home-baked batch as a gift. Laurie Knoke DeKalb, Illinois Ingredients:

3/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1 egg, separated |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans |
Directions:
