Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 c granulated sugar
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 stick butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 medium egg, beaten slightly
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
2 c all purpose flour
1 c *hickory nuts, chopped

Steps:

  • 2. Preheat oven to 350. Line cookie sheets with foil and spray with cooking spray. Drop by using a teaspoon onto prepared cookie sheet and bake at 350 for approximately 10 minutes. Cookies are done when edges show a hint of gold.
  • 3. * If you can't find hickory nuts I'm sure you can use pecans or walnuts.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Hickory Nuts: For the best flavor, use fresh hickory nuts. If you can't find fresh hickory nuts, you can substitute walnuts or pecans.
  • Toast the Hickory Nuts: Toasting the hickory nuts will enhance their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Use Good Quality Butter: Use unsalted butter for the best flavor. If you only have salted butter, omit the additional salt in the recipe.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough will make it easier to handle and will prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the Cookies Until They Are Just Set: The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges and just set in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
