Recipe Courtesy of Paula DeenServings: About 4 1/2 dozen cookies
Difficulty: Easy
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups self-rising flour
2 cups chopped walnuts or pecans
Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar, then beat in the vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well. Add the flour 1/2 cup at a time, continuing to beat. Stir in the nuts.
Drop the dough by heaping tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown.
Variation: For variety, you may want to add chocolate chips or coconut flakes. Sometimes I add both, depending on my mood.

Do you have to use self-rising flour? Can you also leave out the nuts (walnuts/pecans)?

I love this recipe! it is my go to when I make choc. chip cookies. But the first time I try this reciped they were really flat cookies and didn't look very good. When I tried it the second time I added a little bit more flour (and do make sure your flour is SELF-RAISING!) and they turn out fluffy and nice!

Taste great! My husband had some of his motorcycle friends over right after a ride and they were a hit! A little flatter than I thought they would turn out but great flavor and just a little crisp. Everyone here loved them

I tried making the cookies and I am just about to put them In the trash. They were to sweet and look like they didn't cook well. This was even after I doubled the cooking time

My suggestion on this recipe is to pour the batter in a 9x13 casserole dish instead of making into cookies. When I made this recipe into cookies they turned out really flat and thin and were falling apart. I don't know what happened because I followed the recipe precisely. When I poured the batter into a casserole dish and cut it into bars in held together much better. And btw, this recipe is absolutely delicious! The first batch may have turned into bad looking cookies but they still tasted so good! I hope this helps someone! ![]()

Hi Paula I certainly enjoy your show. I read the note about the brown sugar cookies and I printed it out for one of the recipes I would use and notices the word ungreased is still there so I thought you would want to know so you could change it to greased or parchment paper. JUst so no one else might fall into that problem. Thank you for your wonderful show and I hope it will continue for a very long time. Diane

This recipe was really disappointing. I used an ungreased cookie sheet and the cookies were almost impossible to get off the sheet. They were also kind of flaky and falling apart. I did the recipe exactly as it says and cooked them for 10 minutes.
