NUTTY CRISPY SUGAR COOKIES



Nutty Crispy Sugar Cookies image

I worked with a woman that baked 80 dozen or more cookies during the holidays. Every day she brought 1/2 dozen of every cookie she'd baked the night before; this is my favorite. I sometimes roll the dough into balls and then roll them in some granulated sugar rather than making these as drop cookies. These freeze well.

NUTTY BUTTER COOKIES



Nutty Butter Cookies image

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.
