Ингредиенты Glanfathan Nut Cookies

These delicious cookies were originally called Butter Nut Cookies, but people don’t like being reminded that they are eating so much butter. Enjoy! 1 cup (2 sticks) plus 5 tbsp unsalted butter (room temperature) 2 ¼ cups confectioner’s sugar ¼ cup corn syrup 1 ¼ cups bread flour 1 ¼ cups chopped nuts (such as almonds, pecans or walnuts) Using an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until fluffy. Add the corn syrup and beat another minutes. Reduce speed to low, add flour and mix. Finally, add the nuts and mix until just combined. Spoon the dough onto a 12x16 inch piece of parchment paper. Fold the paper over the dough and roll into a log. Chill the dough log, still in paper, in the refrigerator for an hour. Preheat oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove the dough log from its paper and slice into ¼-inch rounds. Space these 3-4 inches apart on the baking sheets and bake for 15-20 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway thru baking, until golden brown. Remove the cookies immediately and cool on a wire rack. Makes 2-3 dozen cookies. “Glanfathan nut cookies are a relatively recent invention in the Eastern Reach. Not known for sweet foods, it took the Glanfathans generations of interaction with Aedyran settlers to begin incorporating sugar and copious amounts of butter into their recipes. Their early experiments were considered vile by both natives and settlers alike, but when the Guided Compass tribe began incorporating a variety of local nuts into butter-rich cookies, even discriminating Aedyrans agreed that the natives had succeeded. While the treats are now common throughout Eir Glanfath and the Dyrwood, locals consider cookies from east of the Bael River to be the most authentic.
