Yield 4 Cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 1/2 cups mixed nuts
1/2 cup butter
2 egg whites
1 cup white sugar
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place nuts on a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan, and bake for 10 minutes. Remove nuts, and melt butter on pan. In a medium bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the sugar and salt. Fold toasted nuts into egg white mixture. Arrange the coated nuts in a single layer on the buttered pan. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, turning nuts with spatula every 10 minutes, until outside is crisp and golden. Cool, and store in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality chocolate.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly. Bake them until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before decorating: This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature: The cookies will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Swedish Nut Cookies are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for the holidays. They are easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways. With their buttery, nutty flavor and chewy texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. These cookies are also a great gift idea.
