Amish Friendship Bread Nutty Cookie Recipe

If you are a regular reader then you know that I have been making Amish Friendship Bread for years. Look around at all the Amish Friendship Bread Variation on my blog. If you need the Amish Friendship Bread Starter you can find the recipe here, too!

Playing around with the Starter a few years back I came up with several cookie recipes including this Nutty Cookie. If you are allergic to nuts then leave out the nuts for a basic yummy cookie recipe which you can add other ingredients to the recipe like chocolate chips, raisins, etc. I took my family favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, added starter and adjusted a few other ingredients to create this one. Have fun with it!
