WALNUT THINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Beat together butter, brown sugar, and salt in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes, then beat in egg and vanilla until just combined. Sift flour over batter, then fold in. Fold in walnuts.
• Drop level 1/2 teaspoons batter about 2 inches apart onto well-buttered baking sheets and pat into 1 1/2-inch rounds with back of a fork. (To keep fork from sticking to batter, dip fork in water, then tap off excess water onto a paper towel.)
• Bake cookies in batches in middle of oven until pale golden around edges, 5 to 7 minutes. Carefully loosen hot cookies with a metal spatula and transfer to a rack to cool. (If cookies become too firm to remove without breaking, return to oven for a few seconds to soften.)

GOLDEN RAISIN AND PECAN THINS

Steps:

• Place a baking sheet on center rack of oven and heat to 350 degrees. Butter three 5 3/4- by 2 1/4-inch or four 4 1/4- by 2 1/2-inch mini loaf pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper and butter the paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk both flours, sugar, tarragon or fennel seeds, baking soda and salt Add buttermilk and stir until smooth. Fold in pecans and raisins until evenly distributed. Divide among prepared pans, filling 1/4-inch from the top (batter will rise slightly in the oven), and smooth tops.
• Place pans on baking sheet and bake until loaves are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Slide a thin-bladed knife around the pan edges. Carefully invert the loaves onto a wire rack, and discard the parchment. Cool completely, right side up on the rack.
• Freeze loaves on a pan until very firm, at least 1 hour or up to 5 days.
• Heat oven to 300 degrees. Line two half-sheet pans with parchment paper.
• Working with one frozen loaf at a time, cut 1/8-inch-thick slices with a sharp serrated bread knife. Arrange slices on prepared pan, spacing them 1/4-inch apart. Bake one pan at a time until crackers are browned and crisp, about 20 minutes. Use a metal spatula to transfer crackers to wire racks and let cool completely.

ALMOND THINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth. Sift together the flour and salt and slowly stir into butter mixture until just blended.
• Divide batter in half and place each half on in the center of two ungreased, flat-sided cookie sheets. Dip a spatula in warm water and spread batter to cover the entire baking sheet, making sure batter is spread evenly. Sprinkle almonds and press gently into dough.
• Bake each sheet about 12 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned. Cut hot cookies into 2-inch squares. Return to oven and bake until lightly golden... about 5 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent over baking.
• Remove from oven to a wire rack. Slide spatula under cookies to loosen. Cool completely on cookie sheets. Store in airtight containers with waxed paper between layers.
