Butter Crumbles


(From The American Gourmet Collection Cookbook)


1/4 Vanilla Bean

1 cup sifted Confectioners Sugar

1 cup Walnut Meats

1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened

3/4 cup Sugar

2 cups Flour

1/2 cup Cornstarch

1. The night before baking cookies: Chop vanilla bean by pulverizing in a blender or food processor with about one tablespoon confectioners sugar. Mix vanilla paste with remaining confectioners’ sugar. Cover and let stand, preferably overnight. Reserve while cookies are baked.

2. The next day: Preheat oven to 350°.

3. Cut walnuts as finely as possible with a very sharp knife (or use a food processor for best results).

4. Combine flour and cornstarch in a small bowl; set aside.

5. In a large mixing bowl, mix walnuts, butter, granulated sugar and flour/cornstarch mixture with clean fingers until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate for 10 minutes. Shape about a teaspoonful of the cookie dough into a small ball. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, gently press flat with the palm of your hand to make a small circle. Repeat until sheet is full. Allow about one inch between cookies.

6. Bake at 350° until lightly browned, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool for one minute, then dip cookies in the prepared vanilla sugar and cool completely. Yield: 3 dozen.
