Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Drop teaspoon-sized dabs of dough onto a cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a chewier cookie, consider using more brown sugar than white sugar. If you need to substitute, you can use coconut oil or margarine in place of butter. Additionally, try adding a dash of cinnamon for extra warmth. If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts or replace them with oats for texture. Always ensure your butter is soft but not melted.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are perfect for any occasion and pair beautifully with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee. For a festive touch, serve them alongside Christmas Cookie Canes during the holidays. They also make a delightful treat in lunchboxes or at parties. Consider adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
Storage & Reheating
Allow the cookies to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can stay fresh for about a week. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to three months. To reheat, warm them in a microwave for 10-15 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, but the texture may be denser. To keep the cookies soft, consider using half whole wheat and half all-purpose flour or adding a little extra liquid to the dough.
What can I use instead of eggs in this recipe?
If you're looking for an egg substitute, you can use 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or a flaxseed meal (1 tablespoon of flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water) for each egg. This keeps the cookies moist and adds some fiber.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are done when they are golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center. They will continue to firm up as they cool on the baking sheet. If you like them crispier, bake them a minute or two longer, but be careful not to overbake.
