Great for plan-ahead cookies. Plan ahead: Freeze the dough for up to 4 months. Thaw at room temperature 45 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks) |
1 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 cups walnuts, finely chopped |
Directions:
1. Beat the butter, sugar, and eggs until fluffy. Add the chocolate, vanilla and salt and mix well. Gradually beat in the flour. Mix in 1 cup of the walnuts.
2. Halve the dough and shape each piece into a log 8 inches long and 2 inches in diameter.
3. Roll each log in the remaining walnuts; wrap separately in plastic and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
4. Heat oven to 375ºF. Grease 2 cookie sheets. Cut the dough into 1/4-inch-thick slices and place on the sheets. Bake 15 minutes or until lightly browned on the bottoms. Remove the cookies with a metal spatula and cool.
