Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, combine the egg, milk, instant coffee granules, and vanilla extract. Stir until the coffee granules are fully dissolved.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 2-3 times to bring it together.
Roll the dough out into a rectangle approximately 10x6 inches.
Transfer the rectangle to the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly over the top and press them gently into the dough.
Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into 12 equal strips, but do not separate them.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are firm and slightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet.
While the strips cool, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and brewed coffee until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm strips. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before separating the strips completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
