CHANUKAH - Nutty Butter Crisps

[Guest guest]

It's a good thing that Chanukah only comes once a year! Seriously, you can

probably use lower fat/calorie substitutions for some of the higher fat/calorie

ingredients in these recipes.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

6 tablespoons butter

1/3 cup sugar

1 tablespoon additional sugar

1 tablespoon heavy cream

1 cup almonds -- sliced or slivered

 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line with parchment paper as many cookie

sheets as you can fit into the oven at one time.

 

In a saucepan, slowly bring the butter, sugar and cream to the boiling point,

stirring constantly for about 4 minutes. Add the nuts and cook at a fast boil,

continuing to stir, until slightly caramelized (pale gold in color,) about 1

minute. Remove from heat immediately and leave to firm up for 10 minutes.

 

Using 2 teaspoons to shape the cookies, scoop up a small amount of the mixture

with one spoon and push it off with the other in a little mound onto the

prepared cookie sheet, leaving 3 inches between cookies to allow them room to

spread. Bake for about 12 minutes until golden brown.

 

Cool for 2 or 3 minutes, then use a spatula to lift them off the paper and onto

a cooling rack. Repeat, using the same parchment paper, until all the mixture

has been baked.

 

Arrange decoratively on a small platter and serve with coffee or tea as an

after-dinner treat.
