Butter-Nut Drops image

This is from a cookbook issued by the Culinary Arts Institute in 1949, that my mother used as a young bride. I especially thought these cookies were good, though they do take some time. If you can't find Brazil nuts, you could substitute some other variety. Cooking time is for one batch.

These were so easy to make and they turned out so good. I used almond flour instead of all-purpose flour and they were still delicious.

I'm not usually a fan of butter nuts, but these were delicious. The coating was crispy and flavorful, and the inside was soft and moist.

I had some trouble getting the coating to stick to the butter nuts. I think I might have needed to press them more firmly into the coating.

These were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some more milk or buttermilk next time.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
