Ingredients
- • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- • 1/4 teaspoon salt
- • 1 package (8 oz or 1 cup) salted Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter, at room temperature
- • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- • 2 large egg yolks
- • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- • 1 large egg white
- • 1/3 cup granulated sugar or coarse sugar crystals for rolling the cookie log
- • Pecan halves or walnut halves (optional)
- • Macadamia halves and chopped pieces
- • Cinnamon
- • Chocolate chips
Directions
- Sift flour, baking powder and salt into medium bowl and set aside.
- In large bowl beat butter and sugar until lightened in color and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed, about 2 minutes.
- Mix in egg yolks and vanilla.
- Add flour mixture, mixing on low speed just until flour is incorporated and soft, smooth dough forms.
- Divide dough into 2 pieces; form each into a log about 7 1/2 inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
- Wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate about 1 hour until cold and firm, or overnight.
- Or freeze, wrapped securely, for up to 1 month. (Defrost in the refrigerator before slicing and baking.)
- Position rack in middle of oven. Heat oven to 325° F.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In small bowl, use fork to beat egg white until foamy, about 30 seconds. Use pastry brush to brush each log with egg white.
- Sprinkle the 1/3 cup sugar on strip of wax paper then roll each log back and forth in sugar to coat lightly.
- Use large sharp knife to cut each log into 1/4 inch-thick rounds. Place 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Press nut half into each cookie before baking, if desired.
- Bake one sheet at a time until cookie edges and bottoms are light brown, about 18 minutes.
- Cool 5 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in tightly covered container at room temperature up to 3 days.
- Makes about 24 cookies

AWSOME RECIPE!!! I know we will be fans of this Biscuit.. I mean Cookie :-) This is the only butter we use here in our home. Having recently moved state-side from the UK this is one indulgence that my husband insists on 'from back home' We paid 'pence' for it in the UK and half a pound here is about the the price of a gallon of gas here now. It is a wonderful butter and will make some delightful cookies I am sure of it. Can't wait to try your recipe. Which variation did you like the best?

Hi Dee, I just added the pic of dough with chopped mac pieces, forgot that pic. So the Kerrygold with chopped mac pieces would be the favorite. How can a cookies loaded with mac pieces not be the favorite!
