Grandma Cookies
What more can you say than
nirvana? The chilled dough is especially good, so much so that it
has been known to disappear entirely without a single cookie being
baked. They're called Grandma Cookies because we used to bake
them to take to Grandma.
Sheets ungreased
Oven 400 degrees F
Time 6-8 minutes
1C butter
1/2 C sugar
1/2 C brown sugar
2 eggs
Mill together:
450 g soft wheat
1/3 nutmeg pod, crushed
1 t soda
1 t salt
1/2 C chopped toasted walnuts
Cream butter and sugars until light and
fluffy. Beat in the eggs and mix till smooth.
Whisk all the dry ingredients together, then stir into wet; add
the walnuts with the last of the dry, and stir just until mixed.
Shape into 2" diameter logs and chill in the freezer 1-2 hours, until
firm.
Slice 1/8" thick and place on sheets. Bake 6-8 minutes, until
just turning golden at the edges.
