My uncles have always called these "cupcake cookies" because of the unique, pretty way they're baked. My maternal grandmother mixed many batches. —Marilyn Louise Riggenbach, Ravenna, Ohio
Baki’s Old-World Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup ground walnuts
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Confectioners' sugar
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add nuts. In another bowl, sift together flour, cinnamon and cloves; add with vanilla to creamed mixture. Refrigerate, covered, for 1 hour.
- Fill 36 generously greased muffin cups or individual 3-in. tins one-third to half full. Press dough around side, leaving a depression in center. (If dough is too soft, add flour.)
- Bake until light brown, about 18 minutes. Cool 2 minutes; tap tins to remove cookies. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
