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.

BUTTERNUTS

Oh wow... these buttery cookies are so delicious. They're crunchy little balls of yumminess. Sort of remind us of a Mexican cookie (but even better!). The butterscotch chips are a bonus; they add so much flavor. Drizzling with the rum glaze and sprinkling with chopped nuts add an extra pop of flavor. A fantastic cookie for your...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 c butter, room temperature + 1 Tbsp
1/2 c powdered sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 3/4 c all-purpose flour
1 pkg package butterscotch chips, 6 oz.
1 c finely chopped pecans
RUM GLAZE
3 c powdered sugar
3 to 4 Tbsp milk or water
1 tsp rum extract
TOPPING
1/2 c chopped pecans

Steps:

  • 1. Cream butter with powdered sugar and salt until light and fluffy.
  • 2. Blend in flour; mix well.
  • 3. Add butterscotch chips and 1 cup finely chopped pecans.
  • 4. Mix well by hand.
  • 5. Shape dough, a scant teaspoonful at a time, into balls. Place 1-inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • 6. Bake in 325 F oven for 15- 20 minutes or until firm but not brown. Let cool on wire racks.
  • 7. Make rum glaze. Mix the powdered sugar, rum extract, and milk until smooth.
  • 8. You can either dip the cookies in the glaze or use a spoon to pour over cookies.
  • 9. Sprinkle with chopped pecans and allow the glaze to set up.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature butter. This will help the butter cream together with the sugar more easily, resulting in a smoother cookie dough.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough cookie.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will dry out the cookies.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before storing them. This will help them to crisp up.

Conclusion:

Buttery nut cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their simple ingredients and classic flavor, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these cookies a try! You won't be disappointed.
