Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of nut in this recipe?
Absolutely! Feel free to substitute the walnuts with pecans, almonds, or even macadamia nuts for a different flavor profile. Just ensure the nuts are chopped finely for even distribution throughout the dough.
What should I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough feels too sticky to handle, try chilling it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will firm it up and make it easier to shape into balls. Alternatively, you can lightly flour your hands while shaping the cookies.
Can these cookies be frozen?
Yes, you can freeze these cookies! Allow them to cool completely, then store them in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. They can be frozen for up to three months. To enjoy, simply thaw at room temperature or reheat directly from the freezer.
