I love these ccokies because they take so little time to prepare.

Categories     Cookies

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 c 2 sticks butter or margarine
1/4 c honey
2 c flour
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
3/4 c chopped nuts
enough powdered sugar in a bowl for coating cookies

Steps:

  • 1. Cream shortening and honey. Add flour, vanilla and nuts. Shape into 1/2 inch balls and flatten slightly with a fork. Bake on a lightly greased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • 2. Cool after removing cookies from the oven. Then roll in powdered sugar.
  • 3. I've made these cookies both ways, either left in the ball state or flattened with a fork. They're delicious both ways. I also change the flavoring. Instead of adding vanilla I add pure almond flavoring. You may also change the kind of nuts you add. If you're adding the almond flavoring add chopped almonds or chopped hazelnuts.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
  • For chewier cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • If you want crispy cookies, bake them for a few minutes longer.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can make the cookies tough.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.
  • These cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Melt-away cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich chocolate flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
