Free Cookie Recipe
Greetings to anyone who’s found this space. The gift I’d like to give you today is the following free cookie recipe. I’m not sure where the original recipe came from, but I have adapted and adjusted it over the many years that I’ve been baking these. They are quick, easy, delicious, and (if cut carefully) handsome enough to serve at the most formal of parties or to give as a gift.
-
1 c. butter
1 c. firmly packed brown sugar
2 c. flour
1 egg yolk
1 tsp.vanilla
10 to 12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate bits
1 c. finely chopped nuts (I prefer walnuts for this, as they seem to cut down the sweetness a bit, but you can use any type that you like.)
Blend butter and sugar until creamy. Add flour, egg yolk, and vanilla. Spread on lightly buttered cookie sheet (10 inch by 15 inch or a bit larger).
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle evenly with the chocolate bits. Turn off oven and return pan to oven for 5 minutes. Remove again and spread the now melted chocolate. Sprinkle with nuts and cut into squares while still warm. (You will need to cut again over the same lines after cookies have thoroughly cooled).
I’ve never seen anyone refuse these except for one person who was allergic to chocolate. Poor thing!
