Sesame-Pecan Wafers

Prep Time: 35 min.

 

Ingredients

 

1 cup butter

2/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sesame seed

1/2 cup ground pecans or almonds

2 ounces semisweet chocolate

1/2 teaspoon shortening

 

Directions:

 

In a large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric

mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the

sugar and vanilla; beat until combined. Beat in as

much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in

remaining flour, the sesame seed, and the pecans or

almonds. Divide dough in half. If dough is too sticky,

wrap each half in waxed paper or plastic wrap and

chill in the refrigerator about 1 hour or until dough

is easy to handle.

On a lightly floured surface, roll half of the dough

to 1/8-inch thickness. Using 2-inch cookie cutters,

cut dough into desired shapes. Place 1 inch apart on

an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake cookies in a 375 degree F. oven for 7 to 8

minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Transfer

cookies to a wire rack; cool. Repeat with remaining

dough.

In a heavy, small saucepan combine semisweet chocolate

and shortening; heat over low heat until melted,

stirring occasionally. Drizzle chocolate mixture over

cookies. Let cookies stand until chocolate is set.

Makes 56 cookies.
