Mixed Nuts Cookies

Mixed nuts cookies – a crunchy crispy cookie recipe – are

made with butter and lots of nuts. These homemade
biscuit-style cookies are super crunchy and tasty with
each bite.

These cookies are very simple to make and give a nice

crispy texture. These crunchy delights almost resemble
mixed nuts biscuits rather than cookies.

I make these as crispy cookies rather than soft chewy

cookies, because these taste great with their homemade
crispy biscuit texture. For cookie recipes where you want
this result, it helps to leave out eggs, as this recipe does.

Options for the Cookies

Make these nut cookies with any choice of chopped nuts
from your pantry.

I usually use these three nuts: Almonds, cashews, and

pistachios. But you can include chopped pecan, walnuts,
or peanuts…even pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds. Or
add a bit of peanut butter, almond butter, or other nut
butter. If you use nut butter as one of the “nuts” reduce
the amount of canola oil by 1 teaspoon.

Just keep amount of nuts close to the measurements in

in the recipe. Too many nuts in the dough may give you
brittle cookies.

Dried cranberries, raisins, or other dried fruit also work

well in these cookies. This combination will give you
some tasty trail mix cookies. Another nice complement to
the nuts is this addition of chocolate chips.

cookies with nuts
Ingredients

4 tbsp butter (room temperature)

1/4 cup canola oil (or other non-flavored cooking oil)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar (powdered)
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
2 tbsp chopped cashews
2 tbsp chopped pistachios
2 tbsp chopped almond
warm milk or warm water (as needed, for kneading the
dough)

Preparation:

Chop or crush all the nuts being used.

Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C).

Directions

In a mixing bowl, beat together softened butter at

room temperature and sugar. Use an electric hand
mixer on a medium-speed setting and beat until the
butter mixture is fluffy.
Add the canola oil and beat for another minute.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add
these dry ingredients to the butter, sugar, and oil
mixture. Add the mixed nuts and use a spatula to mix
everything.

Combine the crumbly cookie dough using your

hands.
Begin adding a little of the warm milk (gradually as
needed) or warm water to knead the dough. Make a
firm ball of dough. If itʼs still too crumbly, add
another tablespoon of milk and combine.
Use a cookie scoop or your hands to make small
balls of the cookie dough. Place the balls on a
greased cookie sheet (or line it with parchment
paper). Put enough space between the balls so they
 can expand while baking.
Press the balls gently with a fork or your thumb.
Donʼt press too hard, or they may split.

Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Keep the

baked cookies on the baking sheet until they
completely cool down. The cookies will be soft right
when they come out of the oven. Let them cool
down completely for crispier cookies.

Tips for the Mixed Nuts Cookies

1) Keep an eye on the cookies towards the end of baking
and remove them from the oven when they get to a light
golden brown color.

2) Use any kind of nuts as per your choice…just keep the

same proportions of nuts versus other ingredients.

3) For an extra touch of flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla

extract.

4) Store your cookies in an airtight container.
