Chestnut flour chocolate chip cookies

Hmm... my chestnut flour is almost finished. Half a package left. What goodies shall I bake? Well I've tried the Italian fritters, they were good but I am craving for something like cookies! I'd love to try out chestnut flour in chocolate chip cookies. And so I experimented and this is what I came up with. Try them! You will be licking the platter clean!

Ingredients

·      9 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

·      3/4 cup granulated sugar

·      Pinch fine sea salt

·      1 large egg

·      1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour plus more for dusting

·      2/3 cup chestnut flour

·      3/4 cup pine nuts

·      3 tablespoons raisins

·      Dark chocolate chopped in small pieces

·      Special Equipment: parchment paper

Instructions

Heat oven to 350º with rack in middle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, stir together butter, sugar and salt. Mix in egg.  Add all-purpose flour, chestnut flour, pine nuts, chocolate and raisins; using clean hands, mix until just combined.

Lightly flour the palms of your hands, then roll dough into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place about 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet, then, using fingers, press each ball into a 2 1/2-inch round.

Bake, rotating pan once halfway through, until edges of cookies are golden, about 18 minutes. Transfer cookies, still on parchment, to wire rack to cool completely.

In the Irish tradition, the four-leaf clover brings good luck to their finders, especially if they are found accidentally. According to legend, each leaf represents something - the first is for hope, the second is for faith, the third is for love, and the fourth is for luck.

It may be hand washed in cold water and gentle detergent.

I do not use secondhand, thrifted or inferior materials in my designs - only high quality and new textiles make it into my bags.

My tote was made and kept in a pet and smoke free environment. It will be carefully shipped to you in a plastic bag inside a padded envelope.
