Nut Sticks
"This is another old recipe I found in my grandmothers recipe box. I can hardly read the recipe card, and it doesnt say how many this makes. I am going to guesstimate and say 3 dozen. I really have no idea, so please dont reply on my guesstimate. You can use a variety of finely chopped nuts in this recipe. Use approximately 2 cups of nuts, more or less to your desired amount. Cooking time is to make one batch. I have no idea how many this makes, like i said, so the yield is a GUESSTIMATE... please be aware that the yield is unknown!"

This is a lovely little shortbread cookie. I rolled mine in finely chopped macadamia nuts & they were divine warm from the oven. I may have to rap knuckles in order to have any left for church tomorrow. I did find that my yield was considerably larger than indicated - almost 60 - & it took 5 or 6 minutes to get the cookies lightly browned on the bottoms.

Since April 2008, I have been a vegetarian. I dont eat creatures...that's the easiest way to put it! :D
I still eat a small amount of dairy, but not very much.
I have been missing around here for a while, and hope to poke my head in a bit more often from now on...
I hope you enjoy my recipes...
