1/4 pound dark brown sugar

2 ounces butter

1 eggs

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup and 2 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour

Directions

1. In a large bowl, stir together the brown sugar and butter until smooth and creamy; then add eggs and vanilla, and beat well. Gradually stir in flour.

2. Set bowl over a hot water bath, and stir to blend ingredients. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.

3. Preheat the galette iron.

4. Shape dough into 1 inch balls, and place in the galette iron.
