(My) Cookies - Page 13

By the way, I went back to read Clod's post. I initially misread that she gave Glatt's wife some spiced nuts. That's why I was wondering where was the post about the nuts.

Clod: regarding the spiced walnuts, does it matter if you use canola oil or not? can it be vegetable oil?

Clodfobble · 12-22-2012, 10:54 PM

Any type of oil is fine. Well, olive oil might taste weird. But I've used canola, grapeseed, and sunflower, at least.

Ugh! I couldn't find ground cloves at the store today.

I was really hoping to make the spiced nuts tomorrow. I'm thinking of smashing the whole cloves that I have, hehe.

Yes, I quoted myself.

Anyways, I'm just gonna omit ground cloves. I've ran out of time. I'm going to make the spiced walnuts then chocolate pound cake first thing tomorrow morning before my sister needs to cook. I made another version of fruit cake cookies today but forgot to take pictures. I have a few of them left of which I'll take pix tomorrow.

I made a second batch of pastisettes last night and they turned out MUCH better. So for anyone wanting to try -- this time I upped the oven to 310F and baked for 15-18 minutes per batch. Way better texture.

People liked them except for my mom who said they tasted good in a "meh" attitude. She hasn't eaten them again since the morning that I made them. By the way, I burnt some nuts. Those definitely tasted "meh."

Nuts are so expensive to buy though. Where do y'all get yours?

glatt · 01-02-2013, 08:59 AM

Nuts are expensive. We get ours at the grocery store.

xoxoxoBruce · 01-02-2013, 09:42 AM

Albany, Georgia. The best you can buy and great people to deal with.

Clodfobble · 01-06-2013, 09:56 AM

Plus, they keep in the freezer forever (over a year at least,) so if you know you'll eat them eventually, it's worth it to buy in bulk.

I get mine at the grocery store too, that's why I asked. I'm thinking of giving the teachers spiced nuts rather than my usual homemade cookies. Thanks to Bruce's link and Clod's suggestion, I may just do that. This girl who ate the spice nuts mentioned several times that she thought they were really good and wondered if I'd serve them for Vietnamese New Year.

I have plans to make a batch of these spiced nuts. I bought a two pound bag of walnut halves for $18 bucks at Cash and Carry. That seems like a fairly good price.

Lola Bunny · 01-14-2013, 01:16 PM

We don't have Casy and Carry here in Houston. I looked it up and found it to be a wholesale and restaurant supply store. We have those kind of stores here. I can look around to see and compare prices before I order. I've decided not to make any for New Year anyways. Blah, feeling like a humbug so I'm not gonna cause extra work for myself. Thanks, V.
