| Procedures: |
To prepare the 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.
Crush nougat in a Ziploc bag, with a hammer, into small pieces.
Preheat oven to 375o. In a medium bowl, cream the butter and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
Separate the egg and add the yolk and water. Blend thoroughly. Stir in 1/2 cup of sifted flour and the nougat. Mix well. Sift in the other 1 cup of the flour and the salt.
Knead the dough lightly on a board. Roll the dough into a 1-inch in diameter log.
Slice into 1/2-inch thick cookies. Place on parchment paper and Pam-greased cookie sheets; Roll each cookie into a ball and place on the cookie sheet 5x5 and press down with thumb.
Bake 15 minutes.
A cake knife is good for removing from the cookie sheets
