Alice's right-brain nutty butter cookies
Cookies
There are lots of ways to customize these little cookies! Substitute whole wheat pastry flour for all or part of the all-purpose flour. Use brown sugar instead of white sugar. Add dried fruit. Add a generous tablespoon of brandy, rum, or bourbon along with the vanilla extract. Add 2 teaspoons ground coffee beans. Replace 1/3 cup of the nuts with roasted cacao nibs, or simply add the nibs without reducing the nuts. The sugar is flexible, too—how sweet do you want your cookies? Have your way with them!
