Caramel Walnut Cookies

Holy carriages of crabs – these cookies are to die for! Since it is Father’s day on Sunday, you should all try this recipe and surprise Dad with a tea time treat. I don’t know about your Dads, but my Dad has the sweetest of sweet tooths; I can just see him jumping into a jar of these crunchy morsels and finish all of them at once.  And yes, that is what you do with cookies.  Finish. Them. All (my robot voice…)

Caramel Walnut Cookies

A while ago I was invited to attend a lunch at La Marina Foods in Modderfontein, and was treated with a goody bag containing all sorts of delicious things that they sell at their little quaint deli. You have to check it out! One of the delicious things was a bag of Valrhona caramel chocolate chips (it’s very larney French chocolate).

Caramel Walnut Cookies

I decided to use them in these Caramel and Walnut Cookies, by adding chopped caramel chocolate pieces into my Outydse Soetkoekie (sugarcookie) dough, with chopped walnuts.  The result was a delicious sweet, crunchy, nutty and almost condensed milk like cookie.  A must try!

So I also want to share some helpful tips and facts where I can about each post.  In regards to cookies and these Caramel Walnut Cookies in particular, the only suggestion would be:  Make, Bake, Eat and Enjoy! Have a wonderful Father’s day dudes!

Instructions
  1. First off in a large mixing bowl, sift all the dry ingredients together.
  2. Add pieces of the butter to the dry ingredients and work through with your hands and fingers until you are left with what looks like rough breadcrumbs.
  3. Don’t whisk the eggs and vanilla, but add them to the dry ingredients and work them through the dough as well – with your hands.
  4. When you have finished incorporating all the ingredients, add the chocolate chips and walnuts and work it through the dough with your hands.
  5. Cover the dough with cling film and only break off a small piece of dough – big enough to fit in your hands – like the size of a cricket ball.
  6. Start by squeezing and rolling it in your hands, after a while the dough will have incorporated all the ingredients and beautiful soft delicate dough will have formed.
  7. Break small pieces of dough, form a small ball and place it on a prepared baking tray, pressing down to flatten it.
  8. Bake at 190 degrees for 15 minutes, until the edges start to turn colour. Cool completely before drizzling with melted chocolate.
