1957 Grand Prize Winner of the Pillsbury Bake-off Contest.These cookies have an unusual shape because they are baked in sheets of foil folded like a fan. They would be nice in a gift basket.Edit: the picture in the cookbook this came from shows them drizzled with chocolate- Now what wouldn't taste better with chocolate!

Time 46m

Yield 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

heavy-duty aluminum foil (2 1-yard sheets)
3/4 cup margarine or 3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F.
  • Fold 1 sheet of foil in half lengthwise. Fold double-thickness foil crosswise into 1-inch pleats to make an "accordion-pleated" pan. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with second sheet of foil.
  • In large bowl, beat margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs; beat well. Add flour and salt; mix well. Stir in walnuts. Drop 1 rounded teaspoon of dough into each fold of foil (dough spreads during baking to form 4 1/2 to 5 inch-long cookies.).
  • Bake at 325°F for 18 to 26 minutes or until golden brown. Remove cookies from foil; cool completely. Turn foil over for second baking.
  • TIPS: If desired, baked cookies can be sprinkled with powdered sugar or frosted with a powdered sugar glaze.
  • VARIATIONS: Substitute one of the following for the walnuts or vanilla. Replace walnuts with 1 teaspoons cardamom, caraway seed, anise seed, or grated orange or lemon peel. Replace vanilla with 1/2 teaspoons rum flavor or almond, orange or lemon extract.

These accordion treats are a great way to use up leftover puff pastry dough. They're also a fun and easy snack to make with kids.

I would make these treats again, but I would make a few changes. I would use a different type of cheese and I would add some additional seasonings.

Overall, I thought these accordion treats were just okay. They were easy to make, but they didn't really wow me.

These treats were a bit too greasy for my liking. I think I would have preferred them if they had been baked instead of fried.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my accordion treats didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I might have needed to cook them for a little longer.

These accordion treats were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had added some additional seasonings.

I'm not a huge fan of cheese, but I actually really enjoyed these treats! The flavor of the cheese was subtle and not overpowering.

These accordion treats were a hit with my family! They were so easy to make and turned out perfectly crispy and golden brown. The flavor of the cheese and herbs was spot-on, and they were the perfect appetizer for our party.
