Place the softened butter in a bowl, add the sugar and the egg, and beat everything together until well combined.
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.
Shape the dough into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to rest.
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.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely. Place them on a wire rack and glaze them with chocolate coating that has been melted using a double boiler.
