My friend, Carolyn, brought these cookies into the quilt shop where I work and I begged her for the recipe. This is a delicious, fast refrigerator cookie that has just the right amount of sweetness. I made a batch at my first opportunity and my hubby loved them as much as I did, especially with a hot cup of coffee. The rolls of dough would be great to put in the freezer too, so you could have these little gems whenever you want too. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, softened |
1 large egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped |
Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, both sugars, salt and baking soda.
2. Add butter, egg and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer until blended.
3. Stir in walnuts.
4. Roll dough into three 5-inch long rolls; wrap each in wax paper or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm enough to slice.
5. When dough has finished chilling, preheat oven to 350°F and grease a baking sheet.
6. Slice dough, one roll at a time, crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place slices 1 inch apart on baking sheet.
7. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire rack.
