These cookies are a family recipe that my grandma made every Christmas since I can remember. They were always what we fought over on the cookie tray and what we looked forward to all year. Even though the recipe is so simple to make, they were only made at Christmastime, which makes them so special. My grandma doesn't have an oven where she lives now, so I've taken on the honor of making them for everyone!
When I was little, these were the best for dunking in a glass of milk, and now as an adult, that milk has turned into coffee! They're slightly crispy with little bits of walnuts to balance out the sweetness of the brown sugar. They melt in your mouth and are ughhh just the best. This recipe couldn't be easier, so I hope you give them a try and introduce them into your own family. From mine to yours, Merry Christmas!
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
3 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
Cream butter and brown sugar with a hand mixer or in a stand mixer for 3-5 minutes until combined. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy. Add flour, baking soda, and salt, and beat until smooth. Fold in walnuts, then turn out dough into a bread pan lined with parchment paper. Press mixture out into an even layer, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat oven to 350°. Turn chilled dough out onto a cutting board and slice into 1/4" slices. Position slices an inch apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes until edges start to brown slightly. Remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes, then transfer to cooling rack until completely cool. Store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
