1/2 pound butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 each egg separated
2 1/4 cups flour, all-purpose
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup nuts chopped
1/2 cup fruit preserves tart

Directions

Note: Walnuts, almonds or pistachios may be used in this recipe.

Apricot, quince, raspberry or rose preserves are suggested.

Beat butter until fluffy.

Add sugar or honey, and beat in.

Add the yolk of an egg.

Sift flour with confectioners' sugar and add.

In a separate bowl beat egg white with a fork slightly.

Spoon out a small amount of dough and roll into a ball.

(If dough is too soft, refrigerate 1 hour. Do not add more flour.)

Dip in egg white and then roll in chopped nuts or sesame seeds.
