Cardamom Walnut Cookies

This recipe is taken from an egg-free chocolate chip cookie recipe and revised to fit low sulfur diets. They are fantastic. This recipe makes about 2 dozen cookies, so doubling might be in order.

1/2 C Butter
1/3 C Sugar
1/2 C Brown Sugar
1 1/2 C Flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp Vanilla extract
2 tsp ground or freshly ground Cardamom
3-4 TBSP Vegetable or melted Coconut Oil
Walnuts

• Whisk in a small bowl the flour, baking soda and cardamom.
• In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars for about 3 minutes.
• Slowly add in Flour mix. Mixture will be dry after this step
• Add in Vanilla and enough of the Oil and cream together for another 2 to 3 minutes, until you get a cookie dough consistency.
• Add Walnuts.

Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 350 for 8 to 10 min max. When you pull them out, they should barely be golden, almost doughy looking. Leave them on baking sheet for about 5 more minutes then transfer to cooling racks.

This dough recipe makes a great raw cookie dough for ice creams, also, and you can anything to it, or change the extract to almond and put almonds in it instead of walnuts. The sulfur-free sky is the limit! :)

Cheers!
