Cookies
Ingredients
•1 1/2 cups walnuts (5-oz)
•1 Tablespoon plus 2 tsp flour
•1 pinch salt
•1 cup light brown sugar
•1 large egg
•3 Tablespoons very soft butter
•1 Tablespoon vanilla
Steps
1. Line a cookie sheet with foil, shiny side up. Bake cookies at 350F on
middle rack, until brown and centers cooked through, about 7 to 9 minutes.
Remove pan from oven and cool on foil. Peel off foil.
2. Process walnuts, flour and salt; pulse about 15 times until nuts are
coarsely chopped and transfer mixture to small bowl.
3. Put sugar, eggs in processor and process 1 minute. Add butter and
vanilla and process 1 minute.Add the walnut mixture and mix with 2 pulses.
4. Put a scant teaspoon of batter on foil lined pan. Smooth with back of
spoon into 2 inch rounds.
Notes
I like to serve these with strawberries in raspberry sauce.
for best results use nonstick baking mat and a heavy duty rigid
baking sheet.
