Little Nest Cookies - Nancy Fletcher

 (a Holiday favorites a Christmas time)

½ cup butter                                        

¼ cup brown sugar
1 egg                                                      
1 cup flour                           
walnuts, finely chopped                    
prepared chocolate frosting

Cream the butter and brown sugar and egg yolk.  Add flour.  Make balls the size of walnuts.  Beat egg whites until foamy.  Roll balls in egg whites and then in walnuts.  Place on greased baking sheet and bake at 350º for 3 minutes.  Then press with your finger an indentation into the center of each ball.  Finish baking 10-15 minutes.  When cold put a dab of chocolate frosting into the indentation in each cookie.  (Use a frosting bag with a nice tip to make it look nice!)
