Tenacious Flog

Busy Weekend  
Ok, more like "busy end of week". On occasion of throwing a party at my abode, I was cooking finger food for many evenings last week. In the end, it came together nicely, with these items, ranked in order of popularity:

Lamb meatballs w/ mint & spices
Romano Gougeres
Cheddar-Fig crackers
Thomas Haas' Chocolate Sparkle Cookies
Artichoke Lemon Dip
Walnut Sandies
Orange-Almond Shortbread w/jam

I did not make (but think would have gone over well) Bacon-wrapped goat cheese stuffed dates.

Moral of the story? Savory stuff went much more quickly than sweet. Although those sparkle cookies kicked complete ass. Will definitely make again for gifts.

Talk at me:
Could you share your recipe for Walnut Sandies? My husband LOVES walnuts but I've eaten all the oatmeal/walnut cookies I can stand.
 
Here's the recipe, adapted from an online low-carb forum:

WALNUT SANDIES

1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 tbsps. sugar (or Splenda)
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups ground almonds
2 tbsps. oat flour
2 tbsps. plain whey protein isolate
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts

Cream butter until smooth. Beat in sugar and extract.
Whisk ground almonds, oat flour, whey protein, baking powder, salt and walnuts together until evenly combined.
Stir into the butter mixture until blended.
Drop by level tablespoons on a parchment lined cookie sheet, two inches apart.
With oiled finger tips, flatten the cookies out to 1/4-inch thickness.
Bake for 12-15 minutes @ 300 degrees until golden brown. Transfer to a rack to cool. Store refrigerated. Makes 16 cookies.
