While rummaging through my recipes,
I came across a bunch of Mama Hawthorne's
hand-written 3 x 5 recipe cards.
I picked out her recipe
for Pound Cake Cookies.
Ingredients for Pound Cake Cookies:
2 1/2 sticks butter
1 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
3 cups sifted flour
(Sift before measuring.)
1 tsp vanilla
pecans
Cream butter for about 2 minutes.
Add sugar in gradually,
beating on high for 3 minutes.
Add egg yolks, beating.
Lower speed and add in flour slowly.
Add in vanilla.
Drop by teaspoonful on ungreased cookie sheet.
Press a pecan half on top.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes
until just slightly brown.
I creamed the butter for about 2 minutes on high.
Gradually add sugar and continue beating for 3 minutes.
Beat in yolks.
Add in vanilla.
Reduce speed and slowly add in flour.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased trays.
Press in a pecan half.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes,
until lightly browned.
And it is reminiscent of pound cake.
