      Title: MAMA'S COOKIE-COVERED NUTS
 Categories: Cookies, Mom
      Yield: 3 Dozen
 
      2 c  Flour
  1 1/2 c  Confectioner's sugar
    1/4 ts Baking powder
    1/2 c  Butter, unsalted
      2 ts Vanilla extract
      1 pn Salt
           Mixed nuts
 
  Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.  Cut in the butter. Add
  the vanilla extract and a tiny amount of water SLOWLY to form a
  heavy, thick dough.  (The amount of water varies by the amount of
  humidity in the air; never a given in Florida!)
  
  Shape dough into balls, and wrap around various types of nuts. Bake
  at 275 degrees for 30 minutes.  (If you add too much water, the
  cookie will flatten out with an obvious, single nut in the middle.
  But they still taste good!)
  
  Vicki's notes:
  
  *  When my brother and I were young, Daddy made "surprise" biscuits
  for a special breakfast.  They were just refrigerated dough, but he
  would always sneak something into the middle, such as jam, peanut
  butter, you never knew!  We adored the surprises, and I guess this
  was my mother's way of doing the same thing...
