experimental cookies with hazelnuts

 I made an experimental alteration on the peanut butter cookies, and it turned out half alright.  Will have to try that recipe again when we have more eggs.  I used the last one doing this, as Mark had requested more cookie and wanted me to use the nuts for more energy.

This recipe either needs more flour or less butter, or some balance between the two fixed.

 

1 stick softened butter (I'm thinking 3/4 stick now, in retrospect would have been better) 

probably 1/4 cup of cashew butter, softened with the butter

1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

 

1/4 cup of granulated white sugar, ground to a nut butter with a quarter cup to a half cup of whole hazelnuts and about the same ofa black walnuts he found in the freezer, it came out to be about 1 cup total 

 in a separate bowl : 1/2 cup of flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt

mixed the nut mixture and the flour mixture into the wet mixture half and half until it was fully combined, even added a bit more flour to the end, because it still felt too wet... but not enough apparently

 

 

350 degree oven preheated, baked on parchment paper (MUST) on metal pan

10 minute cook, then pull out and transferred sheet immediately to a cool surface, because it needed that  

they crisped up a bit but were very buttery and greasy - put them in layers of wax paper on a plate, taste very good
