'Tis the season to... experiment with flavors that you haven't used in a while because it's the middle of winter and you're bored with your life because you don't want to leave the house because it's too cold and you can't stand the idea of looking at snow anymore.
I recently had some maple walnut ice cream that was absolutely delicious and I have no idea what brand it was so that's kind of sad... but this ice cream was like really good, right? So I decided to turn it into cookies!
Everything is good as a cookie! Okay that might not be true. Meatloaf cookies? Probably not. Caesar salad cookies? I'm thinking no. But maple walnut! Damn that's a good cookie.
1 stick butter
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup maple syrup
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 - 4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1-2 cups chopped walnuts (or none, or 8 cups, or just eat the walnuts because they're really tasty by themselves)
Instructions:
1. Melt together the butter, shortening and maple syrup.
2. Mix in brown sugar until it becomes a completely smooth, homogenous mixture.
3. Add the eggs, vanilla and salt.
4. Add flour and baking powder until the dough is still soft but not tacky.
5. Mix in nuts.
6. Bake for about 18 minutes (but no more than 20) in a 325 degree oven. They won't get that brown, so make sure that they don't burn!
Happy baking, babes.
