This is a recipe I got from my mother. The cookies are pretty, and they taste good, too. I always make them when I'm in my annual holiday baking frenzy. Ingredients:
1 cup butter |
2 eggs, separated |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
2 cups flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 cups chopped walnuts |
jelly |
Directions:
1. Cream butter and sugar. Add vanilla.
2. Beat in egg yolks.
3. Sift together flour, soda and salt and add to sugar mixture.
4. Form into balls the size of a walnut, dip in slightly-beaten egg whites, and roll in chopped nuts.
5. Place on a greased cookie sheet and press down slightly in the center with your thumb.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.
7. Remove from oven and press down in center again.
8. Bake another 10 minutes.
9. Cool.
10. Just before serving, put a dab of jelly in the center of each cookie.
