MACADAMIA NUT WHITE CHIP PUMPKIN COOKIES



Macadamia Nut White Chip Pumpkin Cookies image

I'm not sure where I got this recipe from originally but the combinations fascinated me. When I went to make them I didn't have any cardamom (and almost past out when I saw the price of a little bottle!) so I used 1/4 tsp. nutmeg and 1/4 tsp. ginger in place of it. I loved the results! If I every can afford the cardamom (ha ha!) I'll try the recipe again as written.

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.

2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup softened butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

  • Allow to cool on rack.
  • Drizzle glaze over top of cookies.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree provides a more intense flavor and texture to the cookies than canned puree.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you remove them from the oven. They will continue to set as they cool.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing: The cookies will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature, or up to 2 weeks in the freezer.
