Chewy Butterscotch Maple Walnut Cookies

I believe chocolate chippers and any derivations thereof reign supreme in the world of cookies.

But life is too short to limit ourselves to just one kind of cookie, even if it is our favorite, right?

Especially when there are two egg whites in the fridge to use up and an idea for Chewy Butterscotch Maple Walnut Cookies to use them pops into your head.

(That was the predicament I found myself in right before I succumbed to my cookie craving…of course I was operating under the premise that I needed to use up the egg whites. I had completely ruled out the idea that I could just whip up a veggie egg white omelet for lunch. Why? Because I also needed to use up turkey breast and spring mix. Hey, at least there was salad involved, right?)

With having just posted a whole slew of recipes involving chocolate lately, it’s high time for a change of pace around here anyway.

Butterscotch, maple, and walnut go together like nobody’s business and make these cookies something really special. They’re chewy but still light with great cookie texture. They are somewhat reminiscent of nougat, and remind me a bit of Southern Divinity Candy.

Author: Faith
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Total time: 35 mins
Serves: 1 dozen cookies
These paleo cookies are chewy, but light and somewhat reminiscent of nougat or Southern Divinity Candy, and butterscotch, maple, and walnut make them special.
Ingredients
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) pure maple syrup (or a mix of half maple syrup and half honey)
  • 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural butterscotch flavoring
  • 1 1/2 cups (168 g) almond meal
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) walnuts, chopped
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325F; line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Add the egg whites, maple syrup, and salt to a double boiler (or a bowl fitted over a pot of simmering water) and heat until warm, about 3 minutes, whisking occasionally.
  3. Transfer the egg white mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer and add the cream of tartar. Beat until stiff and glossy, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Add the vanilla, butterscotch, and almond meal, and beat just to combine, scraping down the sides as necessary.
  5. Fold in the walnuts using a rubber spatula.
  6. Scoop the batter into 12 mounds onto the prepared baking sheet and gently tap the baking sheet on the countertop to slightly flatten out the cookies.
  7. Bake until the cookies are crispy and light golden outside, about 15 to 20 minutes. Cool the cookies for 10 minutes on the tray before removing.
  8. Store the cookies layered between parchment paper in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days (or in an airtight container in the fridge if it’s very humid, as these cookies tend to soften after the first day they’re made).

The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️

This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is the perfect dessert for you and your sweetheart this Valentine's Day, and it's even more special because it was made for a cause. ❤️

This is the 5th year in a row that Julie from @thelittlekitchn has organized the Cookies for Kid's Cancer Valentine's Event to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer, and I'm honored to be part of it.

Cancer is the top cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. And the National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%.⁣

I developed this recipe last year on a whim one af I developed this recipe last year on a whim one afternoon when I really just wanted a slice of chocolate cake. 🎉🙈 I wasn't going to post the recipe, but it was pretty and one thing led to another and I styled and snapped a few pictures. It really is crazy delicious and it whips up in just 10 minutes in the microwave (and it has just 5g net carbs per serving!). And so here it is, lol.
