LA’s being pulverized by the harshest winds in over a decade, which makes this place 1. Downright apocalyptic 2. Ideal for cookies! Here is a honey walnut cookie recipe that’s excellent when you’re feeling impulsive and don’t have a lot of time, or a lot of ingredients. It made for some nutty, caky, almost madeleine-y goodness. My version is slightly modified; it uses half the ingredients [because I certainly don’t need two sheets’ worth] and no sugar.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened [I used smart Balance spread]
- 1/2 cup honey [more if you want these really sweet]
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Dash of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
METHOD
- Mix it all together until smooth
- Heat oven to 375 Fahrenheit
- Use a spoon to plop dollops of dough about two inches apart on a foil-covered cookie sheet
- Bake for 10 minutes
- Let cool
- NOM.
OMG, need to make these right after work. If I switch out the honey and butter for maple syrup and oil, I can even take these to my vegan friend’s party tonight (if any survive). They do sound quick to make and delicious. Many thanks! :)
You’re welcome! I used Smart Balance faux butter, actually :) Worked just fine.
i am baking them now. i have used roasted almonds in lieu of walnuts. i licked the bottom of the mixing bowl and it was very yums~
i made these! in fact, i took a zillion pics of me and my cousin making them to post at some point but i failed in doing that.
they were delicious! can’t wait to make ’em again!
