Re-hydrated walnuts is something done while being diabetic. I created this recipe utilizing milk chocolate chips and not the semi-sweet version. My family raved over these and if blindfolded your taste buds would suggest enjoying an almond joy candy bar. Coconut is not allowed in my diabetic intake while these cookies remind me of enjoying a favorite treat. We came up with the name while stating make more of "Those Cookies" and it works for me. I did not add vanilla to my batch and milk chocolate is a family preference. Those Cookies are the bomb!

How To Make those cookies

  • 1
    Place walnuts into a bowl and cover with cold fresh water. I gently stir them around a few minutes each rinse while the water will continue to appear cloudy. Do not over-soak your walnuts as that invites mold growth.
  • 2
    Pre-heat your oven to approximately 175 degrees. After draining the walnuts of excess moisture place upon a baking sheet. Allow to slowly roast in your oven while not allowing them to brown. I've based my experience to approximately one hour and they come out very warm. Allow them to cool (the taste now resembles that of a coconut). Chop into small pieces.
  • 3
    ASSEMBLING COOKIES: preheat oven 350 degrees. Have chopped cooled walnuts previously prepared.
  • 4
    In large bowl beat together butter and sugars until completely creamy. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla until completely combined.
  • 5
    Combine flour, baking soda and salt together and then add to your creamed mixture.
  • 6
    Add oats, chips, and walnuts mixing gently until uniformly combined.
  • 7
    Drop dough by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes until lightly golden brown. (Do not bake to a dark golden brown.) Cool on cookie sheets and remove to wire racks. Completely cool and enjoy a cookie close to an almond joy. Yield: 4 dozen or more cookies
