Time 55m

Yield 90 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 3/4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
3 1/3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup dry sherry
1 cup ground pecans
2 egg whites, beaten
Pecan halves, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until fluffy. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and salt. Mix the flour into the butter mixture, alternating with the sherry, making sure to finish with the flour. Stir in the ground pecans.
  • Drop by the teaspoonful onto a cookie sheet and roll each portion between your palms to make smooth, even balls. Press each one into the cookie sheet and brush with beaten egg white. Using a fork, knife or another tool, press a design into the top of each cookie, or press a pecan half, right side up, into each ball or dough. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool a few minutes and remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Cool and let cookies sit overnight to ripen. Serve or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

These nut drops were a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These nut drops were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try them again using a different type of nut.
