How to make Walnut Cookies with Chocolate Glaze
Prepare the Dough
- Step 1
Place the softened butter in a bowl, add the sugar and the egg, and beat everything together until well combined.
Incorporate the Walnuts
- Step 1
Add the ground walnuts to the mixture, stir, and gradually add the flour that has been sifted together with the baking powder and baking soda. Mix the ingredients until a smooth, soft dough forms.
Chill the Dough
- Step 1
Shape the dough into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to rest.
Roll and Cut
- Step 1
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out with a rolling pin to a thickness of 1 centimeter (about ⅜ inch). Use cookie cutters (round or heart-shaped) to cut out the cookies. Place them on buttered and floured baking sheets.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the cookies for about 15 minutes or until they are lightly golden.
Cool and Glaze
