Ingredients

2 (1-yard) sheets heavy-duty foil
3/4 cup butter (softened)
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)


How to make Accordion Cookies


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, beat butter and sugar 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 teaspoonful of dough into catch of foil. (Dough spreads during baking to form 2 1/2 to 5-inch long cookies.)
3)    Bake for 18 to 26 minutes or until golden brown. Remove cookies from foil; cool completely.
4)    Turn foil over for second baking. Repeat with second sheet of foil.
 
If desired, baked cookies can be sprinkled with powdered sugar or frosted with a powdered sugar glaze.
