Victorian Lemon Wafers
Aug 12th 2024
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons plain flour
- 1-1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
- Small pecan halves
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In an
electric mixer, cream butter; then gradually add sugar, beating until
light. Add eggs, one at a time; then beat in flour and lemon extract.
Prepare several cookie sheets with spray-oil. The wafers spread while
baking and will flow together for one huge cookie if not properly
spaced! Drop batter in very small amounts by level teaspoonfuls on
baking sheets, at least 2-inches apart. Place pecans in center of
wafers. Bake in preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes or until cookie edges
are browned. Immediately remove hot baked wafers to a wire rack to
cool; do not stack. As soon as wafers are completely cooled and crisp,
place in tightly sealed containers; wafers become soggy very quickly in
humid conditions. Makes 5 dozen.
