SPICED WALNUTS



Spiced Walnuts image

I pick my walnuts from a local tree, clean them and crack them myself-this recipe is worthy of my hard-won walnuts! The rich, buttery taste will fool you, as there's not a drop of butter in them. Not overly sweet, the nuts get nice and crispy from the egg bath. They work well as an appetizer and are an always-welcome hostess gift. They also freeze well, so you can enjoy them any time of year. -Sherri Starkin, Lyle, Washington

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your cookies will taste. This is especially important for the walnuts and spices.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking these cookies is 350°F (175°C). If you bake them at a higher temperature, they will brown too quickly and may burn.
  • Let the cookies cool completely: Before you enjoy your cookies, let them cool completely on a wire rack. This will help them set and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These walnut spice kisses are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
