Dark Chocolate Cranberry Walnut Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer preferably fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the flour, powdered sugar, cornstarch and salt in a large bowl to blend. Add the butter and mix on low speed until dough forms. Stir in 1/2 cup finely diced walnuts. Roll the dough into an even 10-inch log, and roll in coarsely chopped toasted walnuts. Wrap the log in waxed paper and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. (Can be prepared up to 4 days ahead.) Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 heavy large baking sheets with parchment. Using a long sharp knife, slice the dough into thin rounds. Arrange the rounds on prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Spoon a teaspoon of jam onto half of the cookies. Return the cookies to the oven and continue baking until the jam just begins to bubble at the edges, about 2 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven. Place a plain cookie atop cookies with jam, forming a sandwich. Cool completely. Arrange cookies on the parchment-lined baking sheets. Dip a fork into the melted chocolate and gently wave the fork over the cookies, allowing the chocolate to drizzle over the cookies in a decorative pattern. Immediately sprinkle the cookies with remaining coarsely chopped nuts. Chill until chocolate sets. Store the cookies in an airtight tin up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Cream white sugar, brown sugar, and butter together in a large mixing bowl. Beat milk, orange juice, and egg into the creamed mixture.
• Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda together in a separate bowl; blend into the wet ingredients in the mixing bowl to form a cookie dough. Stir cranberries and walnuts into the dough.
• Drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet by the teaspoonful.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle confectioners' sugar over the cookies to serve.

Steps:

• In a dry saucepan on medium, toast the walnuts (if using) and oats together until browned and fragrant, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat margarine(at room temp) and applesauce with brown sugar until light and fluffy (with electric beaters).
• add egg whites, brown rice syrup, and vanilla and beat until smooth, about a minute.
• In a smaller bowl, combine flours, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
• Mix into creamed mixture. Stir in oats, walnuts (or chocolate chips), and craisins.
• Chill dough for 30 minutes.
• Drop dough on parchment paper-covered cookie sheet (dont flatten tops).
• Bake at 330° F 12-15 minutes or until spread out and very lightly browned. They will be flat and the tops will have small bubble pockets, and though they may look soft and not done, they are! Allow cookies to cool slightly then place cookies on cooling rack. Use a very good spatchula or else they will be tricky to get off the pan without breaking!
• Cookies will be quite delicate and slightly sticky (especially when hot), so when you store them, be sure their edges arn't touching eachother and use wax paper to line between the layers. ENJOY!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Mix dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, spices); set aside.
• Cream wet ingredients (butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla) with a mixer until light and fluffy.
• Stir the flour mixture into the creamed mixture and mix for 3 minutes.
• Add the oats, chips, craisins & walnuts; stir to incorporate.
• Form 2 inch sized balls.
• Drop 2-inches apart onto baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray.
• Bake 11-13 minutes (on center rack), until golden, but still moist beneath cracks on top.
• Remove from oven; let cookies sit on baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F and line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and the sugar, beating with an electric mixer until light.
• Beat in the egg and orange zest.
• With the mixer on low speed, gradually add in the flour mixture, stirring only until just combined.
• Stir in the cranberries and chocolate chips.
• Drop the dough by rounded tablespoonfuls (about 1 1/4-inch balls) onto the prepared cookie sheets and bake for 9-12 minutes, until the edges are very lightly browned.
• Cool for 3-4 minutes on baking sheet then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Combine flour and baking soda. Whisk butter, sugars and vanilla in large bowl until blended. Add eggs; mix well. Stir in dry ingredients. (Dough will be soft) Stir in chocolate chunks and dried cranberries.
• Drop dough into 32 mounds, 2 inches apart, on baking sheets sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bake 9 to 11 min. or until lightly browned. Cool on baking sheets 2 min. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
