BROWN SUGARS

 

1/2 cup butter or margarine

1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/8 tsp.salt

1/2 cup ground walnuts

 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a cookie

sheet; set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter or margarine with

an electric mixer on medium speed. Add the brown sugar and the

1/2 cup granulated sugar; beat until well blended. Beat in the

egg and vanilla.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda and

salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture,

beating on low speed just until combined. Add the ground wal-

nuts; stir well.

Roll the dough into small balls (about 1-inch in diameter).

Roll the balls in the additional granulated sugar to coat.

Place the sugar-coated balls 3 inches apart on the prepared

cookie sheet.

Using a flat-bottomed glass, flatten each dough ball on the

cookie sheet.

Bake in the 350 degree oven for 10 - 12 minutes or until

the cookies are golden on the bottom. Transfer the cookies to

wire racks to cool.

Makes 2 to 3 1/2 dozen cookies.
