PASSOVER NUT COOKIES 
1/4 c. softened butter
2 eggs
4 c. finely ground nuts of any kind (use blender or processor)
1/2 c. honey
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. orange or lemon extract

In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and eggs. Add the ground nuts, honey, salt, and extract. Beat well. Refrigerate at least 3 hours or even better overnight. Form dough into hazelnut-sized balls and place on a buttered baking sheet.

With the thumb, make a depression in the center of each ball. Fill depression with jelly, a nut piece or chocolate chips. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until browned. Makes 5 dozen delicious chewy cookies.
