Yield Makes 10

Number Of Ingredients 2

10 bottled whole shelled roasted chestnuts (3 oz)
1 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Bake chestnuts on a baking sheet in middle of oven until slightly dried and a shade darker, about 30 minutes. Cool chestnuts completely on a rack.
  • Cook sugar in a dry 10- to 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, swirling and shaking skillet (to help sugar melt evenly), until caramel is deep golden. Remove from heat, then prop skillet up against a ramekin or metal cookie cutter, tilting it just enough for caramel to pool. Add 1 chestnut to caramel and evenly coat by turning with 2 forks, then transfer with forks to a sheet of foil to cool. Coat remaining chestnuts in same manner. (If caramel starts to harden, melt over moderately low heat, stirring.) Once completely cooled, peel chestnuts from foil.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh chestnuts. If using dried chestnuts, be sure to soak them overnight before roasting.
  • When roasting the chestnuts, be sure to pierce them with a fork first. This will help prevent them from exploding in the oven.
  • To make the caramel sauce, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent scorching.
  • Be sure to stir the caramel sauce constantly until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • When making the cookies, be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Fire-roasted chestnut caramel cookies are a delicious and unique treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with a combination of roasted chestnuts, caramel sauce, and chocolate chips, and they have a chewy texture and a rich, nutty flavor. If you are looking for a new and exciting cookie recipe to try, be sure to give these cookies a try. They are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
