I jumped back to pick up the recipe I skipped last time to get back on track. This one kept me in the the Family Favorites, making the New Northland Cookies.

These are a refrigerator cookie, so need to e planned for at least a day ahead to give time for the dough “log” to set up. Other than that, the dough is quite common — cream butter and sugar, mix up the other dry ingredients and add them to the butter mixture. Mix in the chopped almonds (I think I would have tried to chop them a bit more — if they’re too large, it makes it harder to cut the cookies).

Form a log, wrap it up and stick it in the fridge for a few hours (overnight is ideal).

Then they log is cut up into thin slices to form the cookies and baked. I can never slice the cookies as thin as I’m supposed to, but that just means more cookie!

These were chewy, sweet cookies with a little almond crunch — we all liked them!

Bottom line: These are simple refrigerator cookies with a molasses-y chew and a little almond crunch. Tasty, easy, and yummy.
