Arkansas Black Walnut Cookies
1/2 c butter,softened,no substitutes
1 c sugar
1 egg
1 t baking powder
1 t vanilla
1/4 t salt
1 3/4 c all purpose flour
1/2 c flaked coconut
1/3 c seedless raspberry jam
1/4 c Hammons Black Walnuts -finely chopped
Beat butter and sugar on medium to high for one minute. Beat in egg,
baking powder, vanilla and salt. Beat in as much flour as you can with
mixer, then stir in remaining flour. Wrap dough in plastic and
refrigerate at least 2 hours until firm enough to roll. Stir together
coconut, jam and black walnuts. Set aside.
On floured wax paper, roll dough to a 12-inch square.
To roll, gently lift the waxed paper to guide the roll. Spread with jam mixture.
Roll into spiral; press seam to seal. Wrap in plastic wrap; Refrigerate at least 4 hours so it`s
firm for slicing. Line cookie sheets with ungreased parchment paper or
lightly greased foil, to prevent sticking. Slice cookies 1/4 inch thick.
Place slices on prepared cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 - 10
minutes or until golden brown on edges. Cool on cookie sheet for 1
minute. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Makes about 45
cookies. |
