Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar or 1 1/2 cups sugar substitute, such as splenda
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 1/3 cups flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon skim milk

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375°F
  • In a small bowl combine milk and 1 tsp cinnamon, set aside.
  • Cream butter with the sugar, the egg whites and the lemon juice until fluffy.
  • Combine flour, powder, 1 tsp cinnamon, salt and nutmeg.
  • Add the flour mixture in the creamed mixture, stir in walnuts.
  • Roll dough onto a floured surface.
  • Cut with cookie cutter. It's optional. If I'm in a hurry, I just shape a little balls, then I place them onto baking sheets and then flat them with a fork.
  • Brush with the milk and cinnamon.
  • Bake about 10 minutes.
