Kim Kushner’s “Mimi’s Cookies” went viral last Pesach–in case you missed it, here it is!
Kim Kushner’s readers went crazy over this cookie last year. And so we knew it was a must-try… especially since the ingredients are so simple, you may already have shopped them before seeing the recipe.
Another reason why we love it: It’s a great recipe for those who don’t have a mixer (or simply don’t want to pull it out – or if your mixer is busy with other things) as it comes together with just a bowl and a spoon.
What’s the BCP verdict? Even though the ingredients seem basic, these have a deeper, more developed flavor than most Pesach cookies out there. They have that caramelized walnutty taste and great texture too!
Note: The original recipe called for 2 cups ground walnuts, not finely ground (still with some nibs/textures). To achieve this without actually pulling out a food processor, we combined walnut nibs and ground walnuts.
In a bowl, combine walnuts, sugar, egg, water, salt and chocolate.
Mix with a spoon.
Using a small scooper or spoon, make 2 inch balls
and drop onto prepared baking sheet.
