I realized that I hadn't baked cookies in a while and I considered some recipes I do not bake very often. I found this recipe in the back of my recipe box on a small piece of faded newsprint. I am not even sure how I came to have it in the first place. What I do know is that they are a surprisingly different kind of chocolate chip cookie. Whether it is the addition of the spices or rolling the chilled dough in powdered sugar before baking, I am not sure. But they are delicious!
Sweet Dreams
1 cups (2 sticks) butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
1 egg, room temperature
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. salt
1 12-ounce package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup powdered sugar
Cream butter using electric mixer. Beat in brown sugar, egg and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, spices and salt in bowl. Blend into butter mixture. Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts. Refrigerate until firm.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Break off tablespoon sized pieces of dough; roll between palms into 1 inch balls. Dredge in powdered sugar and arrange on cookie sheet. Bake ~10 minutes until edges are golden brown. Remove cookies from sheet and place on cooling racks. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
I hope you enjoy these crispy little gems.
yours in baking-
