Lebanese Walnut Cookies

These are so good! Little nut filled bites, with a hint of cinnamon. Translated from "Cocina Libanesa," by Anne Wilson. -canarygirl



makes: 25-30 cookies, cook time: 30 min, prep: 10 min


Cookies:
1/2 lb or 1 cup butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons orange blossom water (sub. 2 tsp vanilla instead)
2 cups flour

Filling:
1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon


Line cookie sheets with parchment paper, and heat oven to 375°F.

Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add orange water (sub. 2 tsp vanilla instead) and sifted flour, and stir until the mixture forms a thick dough. Set aside.

To prepare the filling, combine the nuts, sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Form 1 inch balls with the dough, and press the center to form a dent for the filling. Fill each cookie with about a teaspoon of the filling, and place the cookies on the parchment.

Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden.

Cool on wire racks.

Sneaking in here: The Detox Diet

Perhaps this will help to re-energize me.

AND I'm going to a Buddhist meditation this Sunday and looking forward to it.

Last night was my first yoga class in about a year. Prior to this, it had been a few months since I've really last practiced. I'm making it a weekly goal to get out to Yoga class.

Having some no-screen time

I'll only be online Saturdays and Thursdays from now one. Concentrating on other areas of my life. With my limited free time I'm going to have to cut a few things out to include more art and yoga. Cheers!

Inspiration: (my) future tattoo design

This photo belongs to velcrotrainer on Flickr. I love the tattoo -- maybe I will get mine in this style. I like the symetry and the simplicy. I'm not sure what image I will use though. I LOVE the placement. Yes, I like this part of my back!! Now if only Dameon Rowanchilde lived in Vancouver because I want him to tattoo me.
