Walnuttoes

I found this recipe in a mystery novel by joanne fluke, called lemon meringue pie murder. They require at least 4 hours refrigeration before baking. This recipe makes 8-10 dozen cookies according to the original recipe.

Steps

Melt chocolate chips with margarine in the microwave , stirring as needed.

Mix in the brown sugar and let cool.

Add the eggs one at a time , ensuring you mix well after each egg.

Stir in the vanilla , baking powder and salt.

Stir in the flour.

Stir in the nuts.

Place the dough in the fridge for at least 4 hours but overnight is best.

Preheat oven to 350.

Using about 1 tablespoon or a cookie scoop , roll walnut sized balls of dough.

Coat with sugar.

Place them on a lightly greased cookie sheet.

Flatten slightly with the palm of your hand.

The original directions call for the cookies to be baked for 12-14 minutes , however i found that 9 minutes worked best for me.

Allow them to cool on the cookie sheet for about a minute and remove.

They may stick if left longer on the cookie sheet.
