With all my baking pans sold and our pantry still half full, I decided I'd try and tackle a cookie recipe next. As we had a large bag of walnuts and a whole jar of honey, I did a google search for a recipe that would incorporate both ingredients. I eventually settled on this recipe from Baking Bites.
I was pleased to find that not only was the recipe super easy to follow, it also yielded a dozen of the chewiest cookies ever. Thanks to the honey, they also had a unique sweet flavor that we soon found to be pretty irresistible. With more honey and walnuts to go, I decided to make a second, third, and fourth batch to which I added some dark and white chocolate chunks (left over from when I made peppermint bark). The result was the chunkiest, chewiest cookie I've had in recent memory. We still can't decide if we like the white chocolate or the dark chocolate cookies better, but I guarantee that either are bound to put a smile on your face.
