Recipe for Golden Nugget Cookies

By

Deeli

If they had chocolate in them this might be the one because it has chopped nuts in them and maybe that's where 'nuggets' comes in? You know, gold nuggets found in a pirates treasure chest? ;-)

Golden Chocolate Treasure Cookies

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup Flour
3/4 tsp. Baking soda
3/4 tsp. Salt
3/4 cup Brown sugar
3/4 cup Butter, softened
1 Egg
1/2 ts Vanilla
10 oz (1-1/2 c.) semi-sweet
Treasures baking pieces
1 c Chopped pecans or walnuts

Directions:
Beat brown sugar and butter until creamy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in dry ingredients. Stir in Treasures and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 for 8 to 10 minutes. Let stand 2 minutes before removing from sheets. Makes about 18 cookies, 2-1/2 inches.

Apparently someone else on the internet was looking for the same recipe a few years ago as per this link but I checked the archives and I guess no one wrote in with the recipe unfortunately.
