Joann’s Nutcracker Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 325°F.

2. Combine butter, salt, and nuts in a 13″ x 9″ pan.

3. Toast the nuts for 20 minutes, stirring it once or twice to prevent scorching.

4. Meanwhile, beat the egg whites and the vanilla until foamy. Gradually add the sugar, and beat until stiff peaks form.

5. Gently fold in the flour.

6. Then fold in the toasted nuts.

7. Spray the same 13″ x 9″ pan with cooking spray. Pour the nut and egg mixture back into the pan.

8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until mixture is set and golden brown.

9. Remove cookie from the pan and cool completely on a baking rack. Then break into chunks.

10. Enjoy them! I sure do.
