* 1 cup
of butter * 1 cup of confectionary sugar * 2 1/4
cups of flour * 1 cup coarsly ground nuts (walnuts
or pecans work nice) * lemon extract to taste *
confectionary sugar for dusting
Melt butter and combine with confectionary
sugar until the sugar is melted.
Add coarsly ground nut meats (i put
them in my blender for several seconds).
Now add the flour
The magic ingredient.... lemon
extract...use enough and it will mask the most
unpleasant of aftertastes...anywhere from a third to a
full bottle usually does it.
Combine thoroughly into workable dough.
Form one-inch ball and flatten into
cookie, place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake in a 325-degree oven until the
cookies are firm to the touch and slightly brown on the
bottom (approximately 12 minutes, give or take a few).
Dust with confectionary sugar while the
cookies are still warm (it will melt slightly and create
an icing).
