Christmas is the season of joy, love, and giving, and what better way to celebrate than with some delightful Christmas recipes for cookies? Baking at home not only fills your kitchen with the heartwarming aroma of fresh cookies but also lets you craft thoughtful, personal gifts for loved ones. This year, skip store-bought treats and embrace the goodness of homemade baking with premium ingredients.
Using high-quality nuts from Camel Nuts, renowned for their freshness and flavor, elevates your cookies to a new level. Pecans and walnuts add heart-healthy fats and antioxidants, while cashews bring a creamy, buttery taste packed with essential minerals. By incorporating these wholesome ingredients, you’re not just creating delicious cookies—you’re sharing the gift of health and love in every bite.
Let’s dive into these two easy and delightful Christmas recipes for cookies that are sure to bring holiday cheer!
1. Chocolate Cookie with Pecan and Walnut
Rich and indulgent, these cookies are a chocolate lover’s dream, complemented by the nutty crunch of pecans and walnuts.
Ingredients:
- 100g Butter
- 150g Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 125g Plain Flour
- 1 tsp Coffee
- Pinch of Salt
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 150g Chocolate (chopped)
- 40g Walnuts and Pecans (chopped)
- Dash of Vanilla Extract
How to Prepare:
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, coffee, and vanilla extract.
- Add the dry ingredients—flour, salt, and baking powder—and mix until well combined.
- Fold in the chopped chocolate, walnuts, and pecans.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Why These Cookies Stand Out:
The combination of rich chocolate and the natural sweetness of Camel’s pecans and walnuts creates a flavor-packed cookie. Walnuts and pecans also add omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, making this a treat that’s both delicious and wholesome.
2. Cashew Cookie
Simple yet delectable, these buttery cashew cookies are perfect for anyone who loves a creamy, nutty flavor.
Ingredients:
- 150g Cashew Nuts (ground or chopped)
- 60g Sugar
- 120g Plain Flour
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 70g Oil
- 1 Egg
How to Prepare:
- Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir until the dough comes together.
- If the mixture feels too dry, add more oil gradually to achieve the desired consistency.
- Roll the dough into small balls or your favorite shapes.
- Place the shaped dough on a lined baking tray and bake at 175°C (350°F) for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Why You’ll Love These Cookies:
Cashews from Camel Nuts bring a rich, creamy texture and a buttery flavor to these cookies. Cashews are also a great source of magnesium and zinc, adding a touch of nutrition to your festive treats.
