Although this recipe is not gluten-free, my brain is already thinking about how to turn it into a gluten-free recipe one of these days. Fortunately, we aren't celiac and don't have to worry unduly over wheat but a recipe challenge remains a part of my future!
Walnut Cookies
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup finely chopped walnuts.
If you have time and are thinking ahead, before you chop the walnuts, toast them in a 350 degree oven until just fragrant, cool, and then chop. It really add a nice dimension to the cookie.
Preheat over to 300 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream the butter until it is light and fluffy. Add 1/4 cup of the sugar and continue to beat until well combined. Stir in the flour, vanilla, zest, cinnamon, and walnuts.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets about an inch apart to allow for spreading. Flatten slightly and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until golden. Transfer baked cookies to a wire rack set over another baking sheet and sprinkle with remaining sugar and let cool.
