(Greek Butter Cookies)

1 cup unsalted butter

½ tsp baking powder

1 egg yolk

1 cup confectioner’s sugar, stirred

1 tbsp brandy

3 cups flour (approx.)

Walnuts or almonds (optional)

1 lb confectioner’s sugar to sift onto cookies as soon as they come out of the oven

Mix butter and sugar until very light and fluffy. Stir in egg yolk and brandy.

Mix flour and baking powder. Add to butter mixture with sifted confectioner’s sugar, a little at a time. Knead well until dough is smooth. If too soft, add a little flour. Add nuts, if desired.

Take small pieces of dough and shape into little balls or into crescents. Place on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake in moderate oven (350° F) for approximately 20 minutes.

Roll cookies in additional confectioner’s sugar while warm. Sift more confectioner’s sugar over cookies to keep well coated to keep moist.

Makes about 3½ dozen cookies.
