WALNUT COFFEE COOKIES



Walnut Coffee Cookies image

These delicious cookies have a wonderful texture -- somewhat sandy, like a rich shortbread cookie, but a little more crunchy-firm, almost like biscotti. The walnuts play a starring role, appearing in the dough and as a rolled-in coating. Frankly, these are perhaps more of an adult cookie than one kids will clamor for, because they're a tad less sweet than many cookies. But that's not necessarily a bad thing, is it?

1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 teaspoons ground coffee, finely ground (use the blender to reduce the ground coffee to the proper consistency if needed, you may use less fo)

Steps:

  • Combine 1 1/4 cups of the walnuts, the flour, baking powder, and salt in a food processor.

  • Using an electric mixer, cream the butter until smooth, gradually adding the sugar. Beat in the egg, then stir in the vanilla and coffee.
  • Add the dry mixture to the creamed ingredients, stirring the dough with a wooden spoon until evenly combined.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Adjust one oven rack so it is in the center position.

  • Get out 1 or 2 large baking sheets and butter them lightly or line with parchment.
  • Pinch off pieces of dough and roll into balls 1 1/4-inches in diameter.
  • Roll in the finely chopped nuts and place on the cookie sheet/s, leaving a little room between them.
  • Bake -- one sheet at a time -- for 16 to 18 minutes, until firm to the touch.
  • Cool briefly on the sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling. Store in an airtight container.

COFFEE & WALNUT CREAM COOKIES (BISCUITS)



Coffee & Walnut Cream Cookies (Biscuits) image

These are more of a special occasion treat than an everyday cookie. Also, these are probably more for older tastes than for kids. (A big hit with adults at a recent engagement party.) Don't be scared that it looks like a lot of work - they really aren't that bad! You will need a 5.5cm round cookie cutter. Australian measurements used. Taken from Australian Women's Weekly: Cookies.
