Comments
These are a special family favorite around the holidays. The nickname - Neenahs - comes from the way they look when you shape them into thumb-sized bars and dip one end in melted chocolate. You figure it out.
Ingredients
1 cup sifted flour - sift the flour, THEN measure it!
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup cornstarch
1/8 tsp. salt
1 cup butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar + powdered sugar for sprinkling
1 cup melted chocolate pieces - I use milk chocolate.
candy sprinkles, nuts, etc.
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup cornstarch
1/8 tsp. salt
1 cup butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar + powdered sugar for sprinkling
1 cup melted chocolate pieces - I use milk chocolate.
candy sprinkles, nuts, etc.
Directions
- Sift flour and measure it
- Then sift flour (again) and cornstarch together.
- Cream butter.
- Add sugar gradually to butter
- Cream well.
- Add vanilla and salt.
- Add sifted dry ingredients.
- Mix well.
- Refrigerate 2 - 3 hours.
- Shape into small balls, crescents or thumb-sized bars. Best size appears to be about 4 oz. You can also do 5 oz., but anything bigger is too big.
- Place 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet.
- Bake at 375° for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Roll in powdered sugar while hot, or sift the sugar over the top of the cookies while they are on the cookie sheet.†
- Allow to cool.
- Dip one end of each cookie in melted chocolate, then in sprinkles, nuts or whatever.
- Allow the chocolate to cool and harden before storing.
† About powdered sugar:
- If you are just doing powdered sugar, roll them.
- If you want to do chocolate on the end. use the sprinkle method but cover maybe 1/4" to 1/2" of the tip to keep powdered sugar off; otherwise the chocolate might not stick.

🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
