Cook
400°F, 8 min

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter or margarine
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup finely chopped nuts

Steps

  1. Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy; beat in the egg.
  2. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Add to the butter mixture gradually.
  3. Add the vanilla. Stir in the nuts.
  4. Chill about 1 hour.
  5. Roll out about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes.
  6. Bake at 400°F for 8 min.

Notes

  • The card has margin notes with scaled-up quantities (roughly tripled) — likely the cook’s notes for a larger batch. The base quantities above are the ones written in the main ingredient list.
  • A separate note describes an icebox-cookie variation: after the 1-hour chill, roll the dough into logs, wrap in wax paper or cling wrap, and keep refrigerated for several weeks — slice and bake as needed.
