Too many years ago to count I found the perfect cookie recipe on the side of a chocolate chips bag. It was a bag of Guittard chocolate chips. I had never tried Guittard as a cookie chip so I thought why not? The recipe is truly the best alternative to a chocolate chip cookie I've ever found. Here are Sierra Nuggets:
Ingredients and directions:
Cream together until smooth,
* 1 cup of butter, softened
* 1 cup brown sugar
* 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
Add in,
* 1 Tablespoon of milk
* 2 teaspoons vanilla
Beat and add,
* 2 eggs
Stir in,
* 1 cup corn flakes (crumbled up)
* 3 cups oatmeal
Sift together and add in, mixing thoroughly:
* 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (King Arthur brand if you can get it)
* 1 1.4 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon mace
* 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
* 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
Stir in:
* 4 ounces of coconut
* 1 package of Guittard Chocolate Chips
* 1 cup walnuts (I use pecans because I like then better)
Now that you have it all mixed together, drop by rounded teaspoons onto greased baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
This will yield 8 dozen cookies. Don't worry they won't last long!
