Bake-Off® Contest 9, 1957 Grand Prize Winner
This uniquely shaped cookie is an old family recipe that originated in Alsace-Lorraine.
2 (1-yard) sheets heavy-duty foil
3/4 cup margarine or butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, if desired
Heat oven to 325°F. Fold 1 sheet of foil in half lengthwise. Fold the 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-Iong 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.
For flavor variations, substitute one of the following for the walnuts or vanilla. Replace walnuts with 1 teaspoon cardamom, caraway seed, anise seed, or grated orange or lemon peel. Replace vanilla with 1/2 teaspoon rum flavor or almond, orange or lemon extract.
HIGH ALTITUDE - Above 3,500 feet: Decrease sugar to 2/3 cup; increase flour to 1 1/4 cups. Bake as directed above.
