Ingredients
- 227 grams Unsalted butter
- 80 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 120 grams Walnuts, finely chopped
- 100 grams Additional powdered sugar (for rolling)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Step 6
Fold in the finely chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into a small ball. Place the balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Step 10
While the cookies are still warm but not hot, roll them generously in the additional powdered sugar until fully coated. Place them back on the wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!
