Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 cup Chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Optional powdered sugar for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, combine the softened butter and brown sugar. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until the mixture is creamy and well-blended.
Add the vanilla extract and egg to the butter mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust the cooled Walnut Chews lightly with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
