These have the flavors of orange, pecan and sherry.They come out more like buttons than balls. These won't last in the cookie jar very long! From Cookies at the Academy: California Cooking Academy. Time includes refrigeration. Ingredients:
1 cup flour |
1 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans |
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 egg yolks |
1 teaspoon grated orange rind |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 tablespoons dry sherry |
Directions:
1. In a bowl stir together flour and 1/2 cup of the pecans to combine thoroughly; set aside. Spread remaining 1 cup pecans in a shallow pan; set aside.
2. In mixer bowl combine butter and sugar; beat until fluffy. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in orange rind and vanilla.
3. To butter mixture add flour mixture alternately with sherry, mixing to blend after each addition. Gather dough into a ball and enclose in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until dough is firm enough to shape (about 45 minutes).
