Nut Bowl Cookies

Print Options
Description
This is a variation of SK’s adaptation of David Lebovitz’s chocolate chip cookie.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole Mixed Nuts
- 1 stick Butter, Cold And Cut Into Pieces
- ½ cups Granulated Sugar
- ½ cups Packed Light Brown Sugar
- 1 whole Egg
- ½ teaspoons Vanilla
- ½ teaspoons Almond Extract
- ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
- ½ teaspoons Orange Zest
- 1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
- ½ teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 1-½ cup Chocolate, Chopped
Preparation
I never felt the need to mess with perfection until I realized the nuts had been in the bowl on the coffee table since before Thanksgiving(!). They’re a mix of hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts, and Brazil nuts (where did the pecans go?). The chocolate is a mix of Hershey’s Milk Chocolate bars, Hershey’s Kisses with Almonds, Godiva Dark Chocolate Pearls, Chanukah Gelt, and Russell Stover’s Chocolate Santas.
1. Preheat oven to 300F. Place nutmeats on a rimmed cookie sheet and slowly toast for 10 minutes or so. Allow nuts to cool and chop until crumb is similar to cornmeal.
2. Line cookie sheet with parchment or Silpat.
3. Cream cold butter and sugars together until creamy.
4. Add egg, extracts, baking soda, and orange zest. Combine thoroughly.
5. Mix in flour and salt. Add nuts and chocolate.
6. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls. Place about 2 inches apart on cookie sheet.
7. Bake for 18 minutes, turning sheet once, halfway through baking.
8. Cool on sheet for a few minutes before removing to cooling rack.
9. Hide cookies from children.

I like the idea of using different varieties of nuts.
Never thought of it.
Also, when you mentioned the cookies were too crunchy the next day, I like the recipe even more. I don’t like soft, chewy, or gooey cookies.
I will make the cookies this week, but won’t chop the nuts too fine and will use dark chocolate chips.
Wish me luck.

If you use shortening instead of butter you’ll have a softer cookie for longer. Sounds like a great way to use up those “leftover” nuts that no one seems to eat…

Yum! I love the way you used what you had

Thanks for the kind words! These cookies are best eaten day of because the regular chocolate melts into the cookie and increases the amount of sugar. We had to microwave them to make them less crispy the following day. Next time, I am going to reduce the amount of sugar or I’ll just use baking chips as per Deb’s original recipe.
