Ingredients
- 2 ticks (1 cup) unsalted butter
- 4.5 ounces piñon (pine nuts)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
Instructions
- Place pine nuts in a dry (don’t add oil) frying pan large enough to hold them in a single layer.
- Turn heat to medium-low and cook until fragrant and golden brown, keeping them moving (stir frequently or constantly).
- When they’re golden brown, immediately transfer them to a plate to stop the cooking and prevent burning.
- Melt and brown butter then bring back to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla; beat well.
- Slowly add dry ingredients to creamed mixture and beat.
- With a spoon, fold in oatmeal and the toasted pine nuts.
- Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop the cookie dough out into balls, placing them 2 inches apart on parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake at 350°F about 11 to 13 minutes or until browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
Notes
- Make-ahead: Freeze dough balls and bake straight from frozen. Just add 2–3 minutes to baking time. Tip: You can make the dough ahead of time and scoop out individual cookie portions. Set them on a parchment-lined tray or plate, freeze until solid, then toss into a zip-top bag. That way, you can have fresh, home-baked cookies on demand!
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Freeze baked cookies for up to 2 months.
- Freeze unbaked cookie dough balls up to 3 months.
