Persimmon Nest Cookie


I love this cookie recipe! The flavour reminds me so much of those yummy Peakcreme's I used to eat after school as a kid. This is the first time I've made these with Persimmon, however, you could use any flavour of jam or jelly in the centre. Also, the crushed almonds on the outside could be replaced with any chopped or crushed nut that you choose.



Recipe


1/4 Lb Butter
1/2 C Sugar (plus 2 tsp)
1L Egg
1tsp Vanilla
1 1/4C Flour
1/4tsp Course Salt
1/2C Crushed Almonds
1/2C Persimmon Jam


*Beat together Butter and 1/2c sugar until fluffy. Add Egg Yolk
and Vanilla.
*Whisk together Flour and Salt, and add to wet mixture.
*Mix together Almonds and remaining suger
*Place egg white in small bowl
*Form dough into small ball, shape a well into the center of
each ball. Gently roll outer edge in Egg white, then in Almond
mixture and place on lined baking sheet.
*Bake at 35o for 10 min, remove from oven and press centers down
again, Fill each centre with Jam and return to oven another
10-12min.
