Love To Bake Chestnut Cookies

When I saw this cookie on Jennifurla's , I was totally smitten. Chestnut!!! How creative this is.
And alongside two packs of chestnuts that I have, I but can’t plow over this recipe a miss.

The recipe is adapted from a Russian tea cake/Mexican marriage ceremony cake recipe, something like to our local Kuih Makmur, a pop Raya cookie. So, if you lot dearest chestnuts in addition to those said cookies, you lot shouldn’t non crusade this.It's non hard to make, provided if don't demand to tegument ur ain chestnuts.
It dense (not fluffy) due to the moist finely milled chestnuts, but melts inward the mouth, plus, it’s wonderfully fragrant alongside chestnuts.

But 1 confession to make, Lyanne’s saliva is introduce inward this cookie. When I went to Jusco few days dorsum to exercise my weekly grocery shopping, Anchor butter was on sale, in addition to hence I took half dozen blocks. While queuing to pay money, Lyanne grabbed a block of butter, unwrapped it in addition to started licking the butter. Lydia screamed ,"Mommy, SEEEEE!!" Lyanne was happily savouring that unfortunate block of butter. I rapidly removed it from her, placed the wrapper dorsum on in addition to proceeded to queue. Lyanne screamed at me, bespeak for that butter back. LOL. It was a funny and ugly sight. Kid screaming for butter at the supermarket, I'm yet laughing now.

My kids dearest butter every bit much every bit I do. It’s inward the genes. So, when I wanted to brand this cookie, I used upwards the contaminated block first. Anyway, that’s kid’s saliva in addition to it’s baked, so, whatsoever that mightiness hold upwards inward there, is already killed. It’s safe! LOL.

All that I got from the recipe, 130 pieces of cookies inward raw form
