    Source of Recipe


    Gold Medal, The Best of Holiday Baking

    List of Ingredients




    3/4 c Granulated sugar
    1/2 c Shortening
    1/2 c Butter or margarine, softened
    1 Egg
    2 1/2 c All-purpose flour
    1/2 t Baking powder
    1/8 t Salt
    1 t Vanilla extract
    3/4 c Hazelnuts

    Glaze:
    2 c Powdered sugar
    6 ts Water -- approximately
    Food coloring -- optional

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 375ºF. Beat the sugar, shortening, margarine, egg, flour, baking powder, salt and vanilla extract in a large bowl on low speed until blended. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons milk if the dough is too dry. Shape 1 level teaspoonful of dough around each hazelnut to form a ball. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until set but not brown. Remove from the cookie sheets. Cool completely on wire racks. For the glaze, mix the ingredients until the glaze is a consistency that will adhere to the cookies without dripping. Roll in colored sugar if desired. Makes 7 to 8 dozen.
