My Advent Random Act of Kindness yesterday was to take a treat to the fire station. I have been in a cookie-baking mood lately. So I decided a variety of cookies would be the perfect treat.
One of the cookies I made was Fudge Nut Cookies from my from Amish and Mennonite kitchens cookbook. The footnote at the bottom said they were "Good and chocolate-y!" I love chocolate and hope firemen do also.
FUDGE NUT COOKIES
1-2/3 cups sugar
2/3 cups butter
2 eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
2 teaspoons vanilla
2-3/4 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Cream sugar, butter, eggs, and cottage cheese together (til butter is smooth).
Add vanilla and dry ingredients. Stir in chopped nuts.
Chill dough for 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Roll dough into balls the size of a walnut. (A cookie scoop works great.)
Dip in granulated sugar or powdered sugar. (I rolled mine in the granulated sugar first.)
Place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. (I lined mine with parchment paper.)
Bake for 8 - 10 minutes. (I baked mine the full 10 minutes.)
Remove and cool on wire rack.
When I rolled them in sifted powdered sugar...
