1 Ib. butter, clarified 3%2-3% C. all-purpose flour, sifted

4T. icing sugar about 3 C. icing sugar for dusting

1 egg yolk cookies (dust heavily)

1 jigger whisky
Preheat oven 325°.

Clarify butter, refrigerate until the consistency is soft. Whip with electric beater
until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes. Add sugar, beat until smooth (about 5
minutes), add egg yolk, and whisky. Beat well. Add sifted flour, a little at a time,
beating constantly, until a soft dough is formed that can be handled easily. Work
together slightly with hands. Pinch off 2 tablespoons of dough at a time shaping it
into an oval or crescent. Place cookies 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking pan and
bake at 325°F for 15 minutes, and 275°F for 30 minutes, or until they are lightly
browned. Handling them carefully, sprinkle immediately with icing sugar. This
should be done while they are still warm. They may be frozen, but sprinkle with
extra sugar after thawing. Makes 4 dozen.

You must use clarified butter.
