Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 100 grams Chopped walnuts (toasted)
- 20 grams Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer or a wooden spoon.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until the dough just comes together.
Fold in the toasted chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using your hands, roll the dough into small balls, about the size of a tablespoon each, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each biscuit.
Gently flatten each ball lightly with the palm of your hand.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the biscuits are a light golden brown. Avoid overbaking to retain a tender texture.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the tops of the cooled biscuits with powdered sugar for a finishing touch before serving.
