INGREDIENTS

2
 (1-yard) sheets heavy-duty foil
3/4
 cup margarine or butter, softened
3/4
 cup sugar
1
 teaspoon vanilla
2
 eggs
1
 cup Pillsbury BEST® All Purpose or Unbleached Flour
1/4
 teaspoon salt
1/2
 cup chopped walnuts, if desired

DIRECTIONS

1 Heat oven to 325°F. Fold 1 sheet of foil in half lengthwise. Fold the double-thickness foil crosswise into 1-inch pleats to make an "accordion-pleated" pan. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with second sheet of foil. 2 In large bowl, combine margarine and sugar; beat until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs; beat well. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Add flour and salt; mix well. Stir in walnuts. Drop rounded teaspoon of dough into each fold of foil. (Dough spreads during baking to form 4 1/2 to 5-inch long cookies.) 3 Bake at 325°F. for 18 to 26 minutes or until golden brown. Remove cookies from foil; cool completely. Turn foil over for second baking.
If desired, baked cookies can be sprinkled with powdered sugar or frosted with a chocolate or powdered sugar glaze. For flavor variations, try one of the following for the walnuts or the vanilla. To substitute for walnuts, use 1 teaspoon cardamom, caraway seed, anise seed, grated orange or lemon peel. To substitute for vanilla, use 1/2 teaspoon rum flavor or almond, orange or lemon extract.
