NUTTY BUTTER COOKIES

In this cleverly customizable cookie, peanuts, almonds, and cashews work equally well for the nut and nut-butter components of the recipe. (It's best to stick to one type of nut per batch.) To amp up the flavor and texture of the cookie, the oats are toasted in butter before being mixed into the dough. And if you don't like nuts, sunflower seeds are also delicious.

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter for a more precise control over the saltiness of the cookies.
  • Let the butter and eggs come to room temperature before starting. This will help the ingredients blend together more smoothly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the cookies have a tender texture.
  • Gradually add the eggs to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the cookies from curdling.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with milk. This will help prevent the cookies from becoming too tough.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set, about 10-12 minutes. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help them to firm up and prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Buttery nut cookies are a classic holiday treat that are easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make delicious buttery nut cookies that are sure to be a hit at your next holiday party. So grab your ingredients and get baking!
