ingredients
directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cream butter and sugar together.
- Add egg yolks and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
- To egg whites in a shallow bowl, add water and beat with a fork.
- Shape dough into 1 1/2 - 2-inch long fingers with stubby ends. My Mom used to make them into little horseshoe shapes after she shaped them into the fingers. It gave them a neat appearance.

- While the cookies cool, melt the chocolate squares using whichever method you prefer. I usually use the microwave and stir every 15 seconds. You could melt it with a double boiler if you wish.

I followed PanNan's advice and did not shape them (got a bit chicken!!)But had not trouble making these, unfortunately did not get to taste these as I was called away for a few days, but after a nod a wink and a thumbs up (no talking of course)from the 19 yr old son, I know he was impressed, and the rest of the family asked if I could make them again....all that work and not even a taste, but they got a thumbs up here!!!

I made these cookies for Photoswap #5. It was a walk down memory lane - I haven't had these since my childhood, and they tasted as good as I remember them. The recipe didn't mention when to add the flour to the dough, but I added it after step 3. I divided the dough to make exactly 36 cookies, and made half of them into horseshoe shapes. Unfortunately, theese had a tendency to break at the bend on top (when handling after baking), so I probably won't do that again, although I prefer the look of them that way. It took 4 squares of chocolate to coat both ends of the cookies rather sparingly. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe on Zaar, and I'm glad I chose this recipe for the swap.
