Pine Nut Cookies

(pictured with Lemon Custard)

A palate-cleansing, delicate crunch to finish.

1 1/4 cups (300 mL) flour
3/4 cup (175 mL) organic butter
1/2 cup (125 mL) organic sugar
1/3 cup (75 mL) pine nuts, toasted and ground
1 free-range organic egg
2 tsp (25 g/30 mL) organic milk

Mix butter and sugar until smooth. Add the milk and egg with a little flour. Mix in the rest of the flour and ground pine nut. Knead into a firm dough. Shape the dough into small golf balls and bake at 375 F (190 C) for 10 to 12 minutes. Makes 1 dozen cookies.
