Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets and gently press down on each ball to slightly flatten.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown. The centers will still look soft but will firm up as the cookies cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Butter Walnut Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
