Brazilian Nut Butter Cookies

Brazilian Nut Butter Cookies are a delightful treat that combines the rich, nutty flavor of Brazil nuts with the buttery goodness of cookies. These cookies are perfect for the holiday season, combining texture and taste to create an irresistible snack that pairs beautifully with coffee or tea. Their unique flavor makes them a wonderful addition to any festive cookie platter.

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Nuts: Chop the Brazil nuts into small pieces. You want them to be small enough to mix into the dough but still provide some texture.
3. Mix the Butters and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream them together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
4. Add the Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until well combined.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to guarantee even distribution of the dry ingredients.
6. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Fold in Brazil Nuts: Gently fold in the chopped Brazil nuts into the cookie dough using a spatula, making sure they are evenly distributed.
8. Shape the Cookies: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
9. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, but the centers are still soft.
10. Cool the Cookies: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Serve: Once cooled, serve your Brazilian Nut Butter Cookies with a warm beverage or package them up as gifts for friends and family. Enjoy the nutty, buttery delight!
