Delicious walnut cookies that are made with simple ingredients and easy to prepare. They make a great snack and also yummy edible presents!
Hi, everyone! Crunchy and nutty Walnut Cookies, easily prepared with simple ingredients, is the recipe for today. This is a recipe from the cookbook, ‘Del Blog A La Mesa’ from my Chilean fellow blogger, Pilar Hernadez.
She is the culinary mind behind the bilingual food blog, En Mi Cocina Hoy.
This is a simple recipe to prepare and requires no advanced skills. It essentially involves beating flour, sugar, baking powder, butter, eggs, salt, and walnuts in the bowl of a mixer, then rolling the mixture into balls, and baking… Voila, there you have it– amazing walnut cookies that are ready to be devoured with your favorite beverage such as milk, coffee, tea, or whatever else you may prefer.
Can’t believe it?
Well, just check out Pilar’s recipe!
Here she is, in her own words:
Easy Walnut Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 8 Tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
- 2 large eggs
- Pinch salt
- 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cover a baking tray with a Silpat or parchment paper.
-
Sift flour and baking powder. In a bowl with the mixer on low speed or by hand mix the butter with the sugar and the pinch of salt until it is all integrated. About 3 minutes with the mixer.
-
Add one egg and one egg yolk, continue beating at low speed until thoroughly incorporated. Add the sifted flour and baking powder and combine at low speed or working with a fork, you will get a soft dough. Form 30 balls 1" in diameter.
-
Roll the balls of dough into the remaining egg white, and then toss with the chopped walnuts, place on the prepared tray and bake for 15-18 minutes until they are brown on the bottom. Let cool on a rack and serve cold. Store in an airtight container for a one week.
Good to meet you, Pilar! And thanks for such a terrific recipe. These cookies look great, plus I’ll bet they’re packed with flavor. Thanks!
These are super delish… so mutty and crunchy outside.
Cookies are always welcome at my house. These easy and scrumptious treats would make a wonderful afternoon snack.
In mine too, Deb! My girls are crazy for cookies and these are no exception. I prefer mine with a good cup of coffee and them, with milk. 😉
You are right, so easy to make.
Hey, Pilar, me encanta la lúcuma!!!
Congrats for these easy, yummy cookies Pilar! Plus, this recipe is super versatile; you can also roll the cookies on other nuts or even coconut flakes, right? Can’t wait to give these a try, as soon as the weather starts to cool a bit down here:):)
Thank you for introducing another awesome blogger to all us out here dear Denise!
