Recipe

Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 10 mins Ready Time: 5 hrs


• in a bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon together until evenly blended; set aside. beat the margarine, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the margarine mixture before adding the next. mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. fold in the chopped nuts; mixing just enough to evenly combine.
• scrape the dough a sheet of waxed paper, and form into a log. roll tightly in the waxed paper, and refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours.
• preheat an oven to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c). spray baking sheets with cooking spray.
• unwrap the dough, and cut into 1/4-inch slices. place the cookies baking sheets, spaced 1-inch apart. bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden, 8 to 10 minutes. allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
