Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor of your Walnut Delicacies, consider toasting the chopped nuts before adding them to the dough; this will bring out their natural oils and deepen their flavor. If you’re looking for a lighter option, you can substitute half of the butter with applesauce. For a gluten-free version, try using a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend instead of plain flour.

For a unique twist, consider pairing them with a Cream Cheese Frosting to dip into, adding a rich flavor experience.
