directions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Coat a large cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, chocolate chips, and walnuts.
  • In a separate bowl, blend eggs with vanilla and almond extracts.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add wet mixture. Mix until completely blended (you may have to use lightly floured hands).
  • Divide dough in half and shape into two loaves, about 3/4 inches high, 2 inches wide, and 12 inches long. Place on cookie sheet.
  • Bake 35 minutes, until golden brown on the bottom. Remove from oven.
  • Using a serrated knife and cutting board, cut dough crosswise on a slight angle into 3/4-inch-thick slices.
  • Lay slices flat on cookie sheet and return to oven for 5 - 10 minutes, depending on desired crunchiness.
  • Remove from oven and turn cookies over; return to oven and bake for another 5 - 10 minutes more.
  • Sprinkle topping (cinnamon and sugar), if using, on both sides.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am the mother of three (one grown, one in middle school and one in high school). I have grandchildren who we invite over regularly to spend the night. We have lots of fun and a very full house! I do all of the baking and my husband cooks all the dinners. He loves to BBQ and cook and he is GOOD at it! He is wonderful with the children and I appreciate him so! I enjoy gardening, crafts, sewing, and crocheting, pets, and all kinds of "kid fun". If I had a month off I would spend it somewhere on the coast with just my sweetie and a view of the sea. I would miss the kids terribly so I would have them visit us in the hotel (that of course has room service) on Thursdays,Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for swimming, walks, beach-combing, dune climbing and dune buggy rides, movies, church, and the hottub!
