The article from Saveur seduced me with its
tale of thousands of cookies baked around the clock in the small town of Solebury, Pennsylvania. Trinity Church, an
Episcopal parish, raises about $1,700 each year through its 20,000-cookie bakefest. But better than the money was the
idea... grandmothers and little boys and single parishioners all working together to mix, roll, bake and box the
buttery cookies made from recipes handed down for generations.
How could I resist? So two years ago I tried this recipe when I bought a Costco bag of walnuts and needed to use them up. Ever since I've been buying walnuts, nutmeg and cinnamon specifically for this recipe. These cookies satisfy my longing for spicy, crispy, nutty treats - and they're protein packed and low-net carb, to boot. I eat them for breakfast throughout December.
