ALBANY COOKIES

MAKES 6-8 DOZEN

This is one the kids will love. It is fairly thin, buttery and sweet. I can't remember if I have ever made half the recipe. I think so. In any case, it should work. I do remember that this is a very easy recipe.

INGREDIENTS

3/4 pound unsalted butter, softened

3 eggs, beaten

1 pound confectioner's sugar

2 cups all purpose flour

Dash of salt

Walnuts, pecans or almonds

Colored sugar or sprinkles

Cream butter. Add eggs; mix well. Add remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Chill dough overnight.

Preheat oven to 350° F. Drop dough by 1/2 tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. Place nut or sprinkle colored sugar on top. Bake until brown around the edges, about 7 minutes. Cool on cookie sheet about 2 minutes before removing.
