Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°.

In a bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, maple syrup and vanilla.

In another bowl, whisk flour, ground walnuts, baking powder and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture (dough will be soft).

Using a cookie press fitted with a flower or star disk, press dough 1 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets.

Sprinkle with coarse sugar. Top with walnuts.

Bake 10-12 minutes or until bottoms are light brown. Cool on pans 2 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Yield: 6-1/2 dozen.
