Nougat Cookies
Makes 4 dozen

"Chewy and sweet, these Swedish cookies take a bit more time to make... but are well worth the extra effort."

Ingredients:
1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 egg
2 teaspoons water
1/2 cup white sugar

Directions:
1 Butter a small cake pan.
2 To prepare Nougat: In a frying pan place 1/2 cup of sugar over medium heat and stir. Sugar will turn into liquid caramel. When syrup becomes dark brown, pour into cake pan and let harden.
3 Crush nougat in a mortar or between waxed paper with a hammer into small pieces.
4 Preheat oven to 375.
5 In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Separate the egg and add the yolk and water. Blend thoroughly.
6 Stir in 1/2 cup of sifted flour and the nougat. Mix well. Sift in the rest of the flour.
7 Knead the dough lightly on a board. Roll the dough into a 1-inch in diameter log. Slice into 1/2-inch thick cookies.
8 Place on greased cookie sheets 3 inches apart and press down with a fork. Bake 10 to 12 minutes.
