CINNAMON LEAVES

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup ground walnuts
Sift dry ingredients together. Cream butter and lemon rind; add sugar gradually, creaming well. Add egg and walnuts; beat well. Blend in dry ingredients gradually; mix well. Chill on hour for easy handling. Shape into a roll about 1½ inches in diameter and 8 inches long. Chill for at least two hours. Cut chilled dough into slices about 1/4 inch thick. Mold each into a pear shape, tapering on end. Place on ungreased baking sheet and flatten with palm of hand to resemble leaves. Veins can be marked with a 3" x 5" card folded in half to make a V. Press down center vein with edge of card. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes. Cool. Sprinkle with sugar, brushing off excess, or frost half of each leaf with chocolate.
