This is a true 5 star recipe!! I cannot believe it's never been reviewed! This awesome eggless cookie is light, yet crispy, melts in your mouth and has a beautiful buttery taste. Believe me you can't eat just one!! I did not use the nuts, but rolled the dough into balls and then into coarse colored sugar and hand pressed them flat - my new favorite cookie - everyone at work scarfed them up!!

I'm a retired teacher, now, whose children have grown up, and abandoned me! ? Rather than cooking huge portions, I'm on the hunt for cooking-for-one ideas, or meals that can be tweaked, to make eating leftovers more varied and exciting. I have a pressure cooker, which I love, and I've been making yogurt, eggs, ribs, etc, in that. I still love to cook, and read (and, pin) recipes; but, my focus has changed, from when I first joined this site, in 2007.
