Walnut Crusted Butter Wafers

Walnut Crusted Butter Wafers

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup (2 sticks) Challenge European Style Unsalted Butter
  2. 1 cup sugar
  3. 1 egg
  4. 1 teaspoon vanilla
  5. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  6. 2½ Tablespoons cornstarch
  7. ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  8. ½ teaspoon salt
  9. ½ cup finely chopped walnuts

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Fold dry ingredients into creamed mixture; then mix until well blended. (Chill dough 20-30 minutes if necessary for ease of handling.)

  2. Step 2

    Form dough into two 10- inch long logs on sheets of parchment paper or waxed paper. Position each log in the center of the parchment paper. Pour half of the chopped walnuts in a line parallel with each log of dough; roll logs in nuts to thoroughly cover the outside of each log. Wrap each log in the parchment paper and chill for 2 or 3 hours.

  3. Step 3

    Preheat oven to 350° F.

  4. Step 4

    Slice the log into ¼-inch slices and put about 1-inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

  5. Step 5

    Bake 12-14 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
