What type of molasses do you prefer cooking with?

I followed the recipe exactly but the cookies were way too runny despite extra cooking. I think there needs to be more flour. If I made these again I would add a whole extra cup of flour. I just wasted  all these ingredients. It also took longer than 10 minutes - almost close to 20 but again if there were more flour it potentially would've cooked faster. The taste is great but these are not serveable.

With just the right amount of spice, these cookies are the perfect holiday cookie. They're sort of like gingerbread cookies, but way better. They're packed with flavor (don't sleep on the black pepper) and they've got a soft, cake-like texture. We're obsessed.

What type of butter do you like baking with?

I made this recipe exactly as written and it was perfect!

I followed the recipe exactly, the dough was dry, would not come together and very difficult to roll. Extremely disappointed in this application. As a matter of fact I ended up tossing the bulk of the dough into the trash out of pure frustration. I inquired with my accomplished baking friends and the consensus is the ratio of fat to flour and using the almond flour which might have been the cause of the poor consistency in the dough.

These cookies were soo easy to make. Very happy with the outcome. Will be bookmarking this recipe.

Made the recipe exactly as written (except I made my own preserves instead of using store bought!) and these cookies came out delicious!! I did use blanched almond flour though, I’m not sure if that would make a difference as the recipe calls for just “almond flour.” I’ve never used almond flour before at all so I just picked up a random bag of red mill and it just happened to be blanched almond flour. 

I do want to mention one review on here that states the flour was too tough to work with and their “accomplished baking friends” had something to say about it. I believe that person definitely screwed something up and just likely didn’t notice. There isn’t a ton of moisture to this cookie dough so that may pose a challenge to some, however, my personal trade mark with baking is to *always* get something wrong or screw something up and even I thought this recipe was easy to follow and I’m impressed with my own work! I just hope that review doesn’t scare anyone away from this recipe because it’s 100% worth the effort!

For me the dough was easy to manipulate, roll, and cut with my cookie cutters even after being frozen, when I took the dough scraps and joined and rolled them again to cut more cookies. 

One last thing, the recipe ingredient list also just says “1 stick of butter” being  that the recipe calls for the butter and sugar to be beat together, I did make sure to use softened butter(unsalted). I’m sure it wouldn’t have worked otherwise.

I make these cookies every year, but substitute gluten free flour for the all purpose flour.  The jam will stay nice and bright if you put the powdered sugar on all the tops before placing on top of the jam.

mixing bowls

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.

In a food processor, blend walnuts and pecans until fine. Add flour, powdered sugar, and salt and pulse 1-2 times until blended.

Add dry ingredients to wet and blend until combined. The dough will be crumbly yet you should be able to form the balls with your hands. If too dry, add 1/2-1 teaspoon of water or dairy-free milk.

Using a cookie scoop, form round balls and place on the baking sheet.

Bake for 7-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

Roll cooled cookies in powdered sugar. Can roll them a second time if desired.
