Ingredients

12 cookies
  1. 230 gcake flour
  2. 1/2 tspbaking soda (3g)
  3. 1/4 tspbaking powder (2g)
  4. 8 tbspbutter (4oz or 113g) - room temperature
  5. 1/2 cupsugar (100g)
  6. 1/4 tspsalt
  7. 1egg beaten - room temperature
  8. 3/4 cupfinely chopped toasted walnuts (88g)
  9. 12raw walnut halves

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine the cake flour, baking soda and baking powder and sift it.

  2. 2

    Beat the egg and set aside 3-4 teaspoons of it to be used as egg wash later. Keep the remaining.

  3. 3

    In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugar and salt together by a mixer or by hand. I did it by hand.

  4. 4

    Add the flour mixture, toasted walnuts and egg in to the butter mixture and combine. The mixture will be flaky at first but slowly work into it and combine until it's a ball. I combined the mixture by hand and kneaded it into a ball.

  5. 5

    Divide the ball into 12 equal portions and roll each into a ball.

  6. 6

    For each ball, take the walnut half and press it in the center.

  7. 7

    Cover and let the cookies rest for 15-20 mins. Near the end of the time, take the egg wash and brush it on each cookie.

  8. 8

    Preheat the oven to 350F.

  9. 9

    Bake the cookies for 20 mins. When done, let the cookies sit in the oven for 5 mins before removing.
