Butter Nut Cookies
Recipe is from Mazie.

1 ½ cups sugar
5 egg yolks, well beaten
4 cups flour (or less)
Nuts
Cream butter and add sugar. Mix well. Add egg yolks. Sift in flour. Work dough with your hands and make in dobs the size of a walnut. Press down with a fork and put a nut on top of each. Bake at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes.
Notes from Mazie:
· I make these when I make an angel cake to use up the egg yolks.
· Another variation is to chop the nuts and mix them in the dough. It takes more nuts that way.
