Quick, tasty and fun to make....Walnut Butter Cookies!

Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know its not the usual savory dishes I put up on here, but its the holiday season and these little cookies definitely satisfy ones sweet tooth! Walnuts have more of a buttery flavor, and with some Lingonberry  preserves on top...it makes these cookies jump!


Cookies:


3/4 cups of granulated sugar
3/4 cups of brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 of a vanilla bean
1 cup walnut butter, softened but not melted
2 cups flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Lingonberry Jam or any berry preserves


Mix together the sugars, egg, and walnut butter till smooth. Cut the vanilla bean in half, and scrape 1/2 of the beans out and into your sugar mixture. Mix well. Sift together your flour, salt, and baking soda and slowly add it into your sugar mixture. Mix together it is at a doughy consistency. Use a non stick baking sheet or butter up the bottom of your baking sheet and start to form little balls with the dough about 1 inch around. Place them on your baking sheet at no more than a 4x4, or they will mush together. Bake at 375 degrees between 10-12 minutes, they will be a little soft. Once removed from the oven, take a spoon and flatten the tops to make a little spoon shape. Once cool, remove the cookies from the baking sheet and add your preserves on top. Walk to refrigerator, grab milk and enjoy.

***UPDATE*** These cookies did not last 3 Hours. They were eaten by hungry housemates. Mission accomplished.
