Yield: 1 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
1 cup: Brown sugar,
1 cup: Butter or shortening,
2: Eggs, separated
2 tbsp: Water,
2 cup: Unsifted flour,
1 tsp: Vanilla,
1 pinch: Salt,
1/2 cup: Ground nuts,
Jelly-your favorite flavor,
Directions:
These cookies have been a "must" on my familys holiday table since
I was a little girl. My earliest memories of "birds in the nest" take
me back to my maternal grandmothers house where she filled each
"nest" according to the favorite jelly flavor of each of her
grandchildren.
In a large bowl, cream the sugar and butter or shortening. Add egg
yolks, water, flour, vanilla and salt. Mix well and compress into a
ball.
Preheat oven to 350
.
Break pieces off to form small, walnut-size balls. Dip each ball in
unbeaten egg whites, then roll in ground nuts. Slightly flatten ball
to form disk, then press finger in center to form a small well. Fill
the well with a drop of jelly. (Dont put in to much or it will melt
over the side of the cookie.)
Bake at 350
for 15-20 minutes on a greased cookie sheet Remove from
oven and cool cookies on wire racks.
Yield: about 4 dozen. Bunny Polmer, Editor, Kitchen Bazaar Times,
