Directions: |
Directions:1. Cream the butter, sugar and eggs together. Add just enough flour to stiffen. Dough
should be slightly sticky. Place dough in the refrigerator and let chill overnight.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a very small bowl combine the
egg white and the milk. Set aside.
3. Remove small amount of dough from the refrigerator and on a lightly floured surface
roll it out very thin. Cut out rounds with a biscuit cutter or drinking glass dipped in
flour. Place cookies on a cookie sheet and paint the top with the egg white mixture.
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and top with a pecan half. Repeat until all the dough is
used up.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10 minutes and the edges are slightly
browned. Watch these cookies closely for they burn very easily. |
