Walnut cookies are the crisp ones with bits of nut in the crumb. I toast the walnuts first so they keep their crunch instead of going soft in the bake.
With their crunchy exterior and buttery, nut-infused center, these cookies are perfect for enjoying with tea or coffee. They can also be served at festive occasions or as a sweet gift to family and friends.
Deliciously Nutty Walnut Cookies
These cookies are made with finely chopped walnuts, flour, and a hint of vanilla, baked until golden brown. This recipe yields about 20 cookies and takes approximately 30 minutes from start to finish.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Incorporate Walnuts: Fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape the Cookies: Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
