Bill Baker's German Bakery German Nut Bars
2 pounds margarine or butter
2 pounds granulated sugar
2 pounds flour
1 pound walnuts or desired nuts
Cream sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Incorporate flour and
walnuts until a dough forms. On a work surface, form strings that
are about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and the length of your cookie
sheet. Lay strings on parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Slightly
flatten out. Bake at 375 degrees F until slightly brown (they will
spread). Ice with lemon-flavored vanilla icing while the cookie is
still warm. Immediately cut the cookies a couple inches wide. You�ll
get 6-7 cookies out of one string.
