Wooden Spoon Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup blanched almond, ground
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened (one stick)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon heavy cream (although I have used evaporated milk in a pinch)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350F.
In 2-quart saucepan, combine ground almonds, butter, sugar, flour and cream.
Heat over low flame until butter melts.
keep mixture warm over very low flame.
Drop batter by rounded teaspoons, about 3-inches apart on cookie sheet.
(Do not place more than 6 on a cookie sheet, after they bake, they quickly have to be shaped before hardening) Bake cookies 5-7 minutes until edges are lightly brown and centers are just golden.
Remove from oven, and let cookies stand on cookie sheet 30-60 seconds, until edges set.
With metal spatula, quickly flip cookies over so the\"lacy\" side will show after being rolled.
Working quickly, roll each cookie into a cylinder around the handle of a wooden spoon.
If cookies become to hard to roll, return them briefly to often to soften.
As each cookie is shaped, remove from spoon handle; cool on wire rack.
Repeat until batter is used.
Makes about 3 doz.
cookies.
