After finishing Ina Garten’s memoir Be Ready When the Luck Happens it felt imperative to bake something from her repertoire. 🙂 I immediately found these nutty, chewy, crispy gems. Buttery and flavorful, they were a hit with both Matthew and Anthony. And a great addition to my overly chocolate centered package to the shelter.
Mixed into my All-Natural Turkey Hill Vanilla ice cream. Well, delicious. Seriously. I usually have a small mug of ice cream every night, and I was tempted to have a second, but I held back, knowing that there is always tomorrow (hopefully!)
BTW, I like Turkey Hill All Natural vanilla ice cream (with all cookies) because it isn’t too rich and has clean ingredients with zero additives. And no I’m not getting money or free ice cream for mentioning this.
I made a double batch of Ina’s cookies and froze the dough in logs with parchment paper and now I have slice and bake at the ready. As usual – use sight and touch to decide when these cookies are baked. The time in a recipe is meant as a guide so check and keep checking.
Also, review my baking tips – regarding the measurement of your flour. This is where many go wrong ending up with dry, cracked and little spread to your cookies.
Enjoy-
You will find Ina’s recipe HERE.
And do toast your pecans first. Roast a whole bunch so you have for your next batch!
As an alternative try the recipe with roasted walnuts and dried cranberries :). I will next time.
