Yield 60 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon almonds or 1/2 teaspoon hazelnut extract
red food coloring
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or 1/2 cup pistachios
1/4 cup good cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Line the bottom of a loaf pan with waxed paper.
  • With an electric mixer combine flour, sugar, butter, egg, baking powder, vanilla, and salt; beat for 3 minutes.
  • Divide the cookie dough into 3 equal parts.
  • Part 1: mix in the almond or hazelnut extract and 5 drops red food coloring (this is the pink/red dough).

These cookies were a bit too crumbly, but the flavor was great.

I was a bit skeptical about the cream cheese frosting, but it really complemented the cookies well. It was tangy and creamy, without being too sweet.

My mother and I spent a wonderful afternoon baking these cookies. They turned out beautifully, with a crispy shell and a soft, chewy center. The flavor was spot-on, with a delicate balance of sweetness and vanilla.
