Collect the hickory nuts. then,take the hammer and if they are still in their hulls,whack away until you find a spot where the hull will come off.then,crack the seed that you get out of the hull. inside will be a nut that you dig out with a nutpick or fork and collect in a baggie and then,if you have just stopped working for a while,freeze the bag of nuts. this will depend on how nutty you like your cookies,but when you have somewhere from 1/2 cup to 1 cup of nuts,you make the cookies.move on to next step.

bake for 10-15 minutes or just until they are a light golden brown around edges. do not try to move to rack right away,as they will be very mushy in the middle.instead,let them sit for about 5 minutes so they can harden. then move to wire rack and let cool completely.
