How to Make Nut Thins

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat 2 large eggs in a separate bowl, then gradually add them to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup chopped nuts (your choice!).
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Serve warm with a tall glass of milk. Enjoy!
  12. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
