Ingredients
- 200 g 7oz butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract I used vanilla bean paste
- 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 ¾ cup plain all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- ½ teaspoon ground mixed spice
- ½ cup coarsely chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 150C fan-forced and line two baking trays with baking paper.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter, vanilla, sugar and egg together until smooth and creamy.
- Sift in the flour, soda and mixed spice and beat them through until just combined then add the walnuts and stir until incorporated.
- Using a level tablespoon of dough at a time, roll the dough into balls and place on the lined trays leaving at least 3 cm between each one.
- Bake biscuits for 15 minutes and then leave to cool on the trays.
- Store in an airtight container when cool.
Notes
Note: Don't chill the dough. These are meant to be flat cookies. If you chill it you'll get a big fat part in the middle and very very thin almost-burnt edges.
Variations: You can use pecans instead of walnuts.
Tip: Look for walnut pieces at your grocery store. They're often a lot less expensive per kilo than whole walnuts and you want them chopped anyway.
