These cookies were good, but the bottom crust had the texture of a shortbread rather than a cookie bar.

The recipe is from the bag of walnuts.

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 egg, beaten
1 t vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 t salt
1-1/2 cups walnuts, chopped
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Heat oven to 350°. buttered 13x9-inch pan.

In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar, egg and vanilla til creamy. Stir in flour, salt, and 1/2 cup walnuts. Spread lightly into prepared pan.

Bake for 25 minutes, or til lightly browned. Immediately sprinkle with chocolate pieces and let stand for 5 minutes. Spread chocolate over cookie base. Sprinkle with remaining walnuts and press lightly.

Cool. Cut into bars.

Works for me, but I'd probably hear from the rest of the family about why there are walnuts in there... whiners, LOL!

Gonna have to try these love walnuts, these sound delicious! ;)
Nora D. Jul 27, 2012, 12:45pm UTC
No calories at all, right?! I've got to buy some organic flour and sugar before I do more baking, as all I've got on hand are the "regular" ingredients.........I've gone pretty much 100% organic :) !!!!!!!!
Will have to try these if I ever get the inclination to bake.......these days I've been entirely too, too busy to do much of anything.....except catching myself coming and going.....LOL!
Great photo....thanks for sharing!
