Hello again friends!
Today we are making Chewy Cookies. They are packed with walnuts and brown sugar and they are addicting. I almost filmed a video reaction of me trying them, but it would have just been 2 minutes of me humming and murmuring at how delicious these are.
My mom said that she loved them and I noticed in another family cook book that this was the recipe she submitted. So I thought I would give it a go!
You should know, my first attempt was an epic failure. As in the cookies tasted like flour and they were solid like short bread. I literally had to press the dough into the pan like I was pressing pizza dough. My baker senses were tingling when I saw it, but I baked it anyway.
The fact of the matter is I assumed (I know, I know…) that when Grandma wrote “Sift” it was merely a suggestion…it was not. LOL!
So, your girl amazon primed a gorgeous, highly rated sifter to her front door and gave it another shot.
And let me tell you-it was beyond worth it!
You actually sift the dry ingredients twice. I posted a photo below of how the dough looks when it is in the pan. It is very wet and in order to spread it, I sprayed cooking spray on the back of a spoon to spread it out to the edges.
The last picture is what it looked like when it came out of the oven before cutting into squares.
I am telling you, do not sleep on this recipe. It is GOLD. And how awesome is it that the ingredients are minimal?
Yes, there is 3 eggs, but I promise it is worth using part of your stash…LOL
ENJOY!
