How’s everyone doing? Stressing about pesach? Are you finished cleaning and onto the cooking marathon? Or are you more of a last minute type? Either way, you know you’re going to need some amazing cookies to get you through this holiday, right? Well the good news is, I have just the thing: Caramelized Nut Cookies!

I came up with this idea a few years ago, on pesach, when I was facing a lack of ingredients. I was making chocolate chip cookies, but set aside some of the dough to make chocolate-less, for a family member who (weirdly enough) doesn’t like chocolate(!). During the rest of the year, I have all kinds of options. Caramel chips, butterscotch chips, cappuccino chips, etc. On Pesach, I didn’t have those options, so I did what I always do when creating a pesach recipe: I thought about which ingredients I *do* have, and the idea to add caramelized nuts instead of chocolate chips was born.

The resulting cookie was so good, everyone went wild over them, and I knew I had a new recipe. These chewy nut cookies with bursts of crunchy candied nuts inside are incredibly addictive and delicious. You can use my candied nuts recipe (below), or you can use store bought. Just a bit of advice though – when you do make my caramelized honey almonds, make sure to double the recipe…or you might not have any to put into the cookies!

    Can these be made with regular flour? Same quantities?

      I haven’t tried it, so I can’t say for sure. A safer bet would be to make the nuts and add them to chocolate chip cookie dough, in place of the chips.
