joannqn Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I've never made these but am doing so today. The recipe I'm following has nuts in them. How finely chopped should they be? I don't remember these kinds of cookies having distinguishable nut pieces in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UmMusa Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Super fine! I put my pecans in a little electric bean grinder I have and pulse it till they're very finely ground. You don't want any pieces in the cookies. Just don't overdo it... then you'll end up with pecan butter :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 Are they freezable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysticamethyst Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Sorry can't help on the freezing but wanted to say we use walnuts instead of pecans. I don't see why you couldn't freeze them. :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty in Pink Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 You want the nuts to be very finely ground, almost powdery. I do mine in a small food processor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indigomama Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Yes, we've frozen them:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 You are probably done now, but wanted to add in my note. I don't chop my nuts fine..contrary to what everyone else here has stated. I don't have huge chunks, but you can definately see the nuts in them. I use walnuts almost exclusively as that is what I usually have in the house, but this year I have pecans and I think after 45 years of using walnuts I may switch it up a bit! They freeze beautifully! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalanamak Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Is this a spin off of the designer dogs thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
