Ingredients
-
10 Tbsp. butter or margarine
2 c. sifted flour
1/3 c. sugar
2 egg yolks
tart jelly
beaten egg white
finely chopped nutmeats and sugar
Preparation
-
Work flour and shortening together, then work in sugar to a crumbly mixture.
Add beaten egg yolks.
Pinch off small amounts of this dough so that when it is rolled, it is about the size of a small walnut.
After it is rolled between the hands, flatten slightly to about 3/4 of an inch thick.
Make a small indentation in the center with finger large enough to hold a small amount of tart jelly.
Brush each cookie with slightly beaten egg white and sprinkle with finely chopped nutmeats and sugar.
Put in refrigerator for about 1 hour.
Bake in slow oven (250\u00b0) for 20 minutes, then gradually increase heat to 300\u00b0 and bake about 40 minutes.
