Homemade Holiday Cookies in a Heartbeat

by Julie Gale

(December 12, 2003) About fifteen years or so ago, I had a dear friend, Nancy, who lived up the street from us on Iselin Terrace. Nancy welcomed us into her home for Christmas dinner and introduced us to some of the wonderful traditions we had never experienced in our Jewish home. One of these lovely customs is the baking of endless varieties of holiday cookies.

Nancy served these wonderful pecan cookies one year at a friend’s last minute party.

These cookies are made of ingredients that are always in the cupboard, they take only a few minutes to prepare and then a short time in the oven. For all these reasons, but especially for their scrumptious taste, I am sure that these cookies will become a holiday tradition in your home, no matter which holiday you celebrate.

NANCY’S PECAN COOKIES

1 & ½ cellophane packages graham crackers
2 sticks unsalted butter
½ cup white sugar
1 cup chopped pecans

---------------------------------

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Line a shallow cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Separate the graham crackers into individual pieces and line edge to edge on the cookie sheet.

In a large glass measuring cup, melt the butter in the microwave for about 45 seconds. Stir in the sugar and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir in the pecan pieces and pour evenly over the graham crackers. Bake for 17 minutes. Allow to cool and then break into cookies.

Julie Gale will be teaching a class on Hanukkah foods including Nana’s brisket, potato latkes and rosey applesauce on Tuesday, December 16th, 2003, and can be reached at 914-834-5353 or at PJAZTEGale@optonline.net.
