Serves
~30 boomerang shaped cookies
Author Notes
These are very light and airy, little bites. I like to make them into small boomerangs (~1 inch) for a one to two bite snack. Layered in a box with colored tissue paper, these make a really cute holiday gift. I've made these in letter shapes as well-for a birthday gift. Simply shape the dough into letters and spell out the name of the person you're gifting to! As an alternative, use walnuts or hazelnuts. —Mariya

Ingredients
-
1/2 cup
butter-melted
-
1 teaspoon
vanilla
-
1 tablespoon
dark rum
-
1 cup
flour
-
1.5 tablespoons
brown sugar
-
1 cup
walnuts-finely chopped
-
1 teaspoon
cinnamon
-
cooking spray
-
1/2 cup
powdered sugar
Directions
-
Mix the butter, vanilla, and rum.
-
Add flour, sugar, nuts, and cinnamon to the butter mixture and incorporate well to form a soft dough.
-
Roll the dough into a log and cut ~1 inch pieces. Shape them into little angles (aka boomerangs). You can also play around with the shapes-creating circles, dots, or letters!
-
Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and arrange the cookies. Bake at 400F until the cookies begin to brown (~10-12 minutes).
-
Allow to cool (otherwise the powdered sugar will simply melt and be a blob on your cookies)!
-
Only once cooled well, using a sifter, sprinkle powdered sugar on top of the cookies and enjoy!
