During the war there was no shortage of recipes using day-old bread. In this quick cookie, the bread crumbs take the place of flour. Never substitute commercial dry bread crumbs for the moister homemade day-old ones.

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 cups day-old white bread crumbs (from 5 to 6 slices)
  • 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 2 baking sheets.
Beat eggs and salt with an electric mixer on high speed until very light. Gradually beat in brown sugar until fluffy. Fold in bread crumbs, walnuts, and vanilla.
Drop dough by rounded measuring teaspoonfuls onto greased baking sheets and baking 10 to 12 minutes or until golden and centers are set. Cool and serve or pack in an airtight container.
