Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 100 grams Ground walnuts
- 50 grams Powdered sugar (for dusting after baking)
Instructions
1. Layer the dry ingredients in a 500 mL glass jar in the following order: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, and ground walnuts. Use a spoon to gently level each layer for a neat and decorative look.
2. Seal the jar with a lid and, if gifting, attach a tag with the recipe instructions for making the Walnut Cinnamon Balls:
3. To prepare the cookies, pour the dry mix into a large mixing bowl. Add 100 grams of unsalted butter (softened) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
4. Using a spoon or your hands, combine the ingredients until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too crumbly, add 1–2 teaspoons of milk until it comes together easily.
5. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 tablespoon of dough per ball, and place them an inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the edges are golden and firm. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 5–10 minutes.
8. Roll the slightly warm cookies in powdered sugar to coat them generously. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve the Walnut Cinnamon Balls or store them in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy!
