INSTRUCTIONS
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease cookie sheets lightly with unsalted
shortening and dust lightly with flour. Sift together flour and salt. Work
butter in a bowl until creamy. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar and
beat until well blended. Add egg and vanilla and beat well. Gradually add
sifted dry ingredients, beating well after each addition. Mix in nuts. Drop
slightly rounded teaspoonfuls of dough about 3 inches apart on prepared
cookie sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes, or until cookies are browned. Let cool 1
minute. Carefully remove cookies from sheets with a wide spatula to a wire
cake rack. Immediately pinch two sides of cookie together to make a bow. If
cookies become too cool to shape into bows, return them to the oven for a
minute or two to soften them slightly. Store cookies in a tightly covered
container between layers of waxed paper. Makes 3-4 dozen cookies.
