Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect texture for your black walnut cookies, make sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • For a richer flavor, toast the walnuts before adding them to the cookie dough. This will bring out their nutty aroma and enhance the overall taste of the cookies.
  • If you don't have any black walnuts on hand, you can use chopped pecans or walnuts as a substitute. However, black walnuts have a distinctive flavor that will give your cookies a unique taste.
  • Be careful not to overmix the cookie dough, as this can result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown and the centers are set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying them. This will help them to firm up and develop their full flavor.
