Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Mixing Ingredients

  1. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugars

    In another large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Egg and Vanilla

    Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully incorporated.

  3. 5

    Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Pour in the horchata and stir until smooth.

Final Touches

    Incorporate Optional Ingredients

    If desired, fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts and chocolate chips into the dough.

  2. 7

    Scoop the Dough

    Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop heaping portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie.

Baking

  1. 8

    Bake the Cookies

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set but slightly soft.

  2. 9

    Cool the Cookies

    Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
