Ingredients:
1 cup of shelled walnuts (finely chopped)
1 cup of sugar
1 large egg (beaten)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped walnuts and sugar. Mix them thoroughly.
Add the beaten egg and vanilla extract to the walnut-sugar mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
Use a spoon to scoop small portions of the dough and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown on the edges and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving and Storage Tips:
These cookies are best served fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature.
For longer storage, place the cookies in a sealed container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
Serve them alongside coffee, tea, or as a delightful treat after dinner.
