Walnut Cookies
List of Ingredients
Makes 36-40
1 3/4 cups Flour
3/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 cup Butter, softened
1/2 cup Vegetable Shortening
2/3 cup Granulated Sugar
1/2 cup Brown Sugar, firmly packed
1 Egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/4 cup Walnuts, finely chopped
About 36-40 Walnut halves Recipe
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, shortening, and white and brown sugars until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and blend until thoroughly creamed. The mixture should be a lemony-yellow color with a smooth consistency. Stir in the chopped walnuts.
Shape the cookie dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least one hour or up to 2 days.
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a cookie sheet for baking. Divide the cookie dough into four equal pieces and then divide each piece into about 10 portions. Roll each portion into a ball, and place the balls of cookie dough 2 to 3 inches apart on a baking sheet. Press a walnut half firmly into the center of each ball.
Bake until golden brown, usually about 14 to 16 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
