Description

These Refrigerator Nut Cookies are a timeless treat that delivers a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. The dough combines softened butter, sugar, and eggs for a rich base, while all-purpose flour and baking soda provide structure. Finely chopped nuts are folded in for a delightful crunch in every bite. Because the dough is chilled before slicing, these cookies hold their shape beautifully and bake into tender, golden rounds. They are incredibly easy to prepare, making them ideal for holiday baking, potlucks, or simply satisfying a sweet tooth. The advance prep time allows the flavors to meld, resulting in a cookie that is both nostalgic and sophisticated. Serve them with coffee or tea for an elegant afternoon snack.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar, softened butter, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and well combined.
  2. Stir in the flour, salt, baking soda, and finely chopped nuts until the dough forms a cohesive mass.
  3. Divide the dough into 3 equal parts.
  4. Shape each part into a roll, approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter and 7 inches long.
  5. Wrap each roll tightly in waxed paper or plastic wrap.
  6. Refrigerate the wrapped dough rolls for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  7. Preheat the oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC).
  8. Unwrap the dough and cut it into 1/8-inch thick slices.
  9. Place the slices 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the cookies are light brown around the edges.
  11. Immediately remove the cookies from the baking sheets using a spatula.
  12. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
