NUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES (GLUTEN-FREE)

Nut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies (Gluten-Free) image

So very rich, perfect, and healthy. Made with any organic nut butter of choice. Great with almond butter, peanut butter, you name it! We think better than the old fashioned PB cookie even. I find the dark chocolate chips at our local Co-Op health food stores. They even have some made with stevia if you like to be even lower in the sugars. This is a fast easy recipe sure to please! Keeps well in fridge or freezer best. I like mine micro-waved a few seconds for that fresh warm cookie with melted chocolate goodness.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

1/2 c butter, softened
1 c sugar
3/4 c packed, brown sugar
1 egg
1/3 - 1/2 c milk
1/2 tsp orange extract
1 Tbsp orange juice
3 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 c chopped, frozen or fresh cranberries
1 c chopped, walnuts or pecans
FROSTING
1/3 c butter
2 c confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 - 4 Tbsp hot water

Steps:

1. Preheat to 350 degree F. In a bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add milk, egg and orange juice; mix well.
2. Add milk, extract, egg and orange juice; mix well. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; add to the creamed mixture and mix well. ( Batter will be stiff.)
3. Stir in cranberries and nuts. ( I mixed with fingers )
4. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. ( my cranberries were froze, so I didn't cut mine up real well, and they still turned out well.) I actually used my fingers to place dough from bowl to pan. I just estimated 1 tablespoon, some were a bit bigger. There's no better tools than your fingers..lol!
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Cool on wire racks.
7. Frosting: Heat the butter in a saucepan over low heat until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
8. Cool for 2 minutes; transfer to a small bowl. Add sugar and vanilla. Beat in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until frosting reaches desired consistency.
9. Frost cooled cookies. Enjoy!

Tips:

Soften butter and cream cheese to room temperature: This will make them easier to mix and will help the cookies turn out smooth and creamy.
Use a stand mixer or hand mixer: This will make the mixing process much easier and faster.
Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
Bake the cookies at the correct temperature: The temperature of the oven will affect the texture of the cookies. If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and may burn. If the oven is too cool, the cookies will not cook through and may be doughy.
Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help the cookies set and prevent them from becoming too soft.

Conclusion:

These butter nut cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy with a slightly nutty flavor. The cookies can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer, making them a great option for busy families. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your butter nut cookies turn out perfect every time.
