BLACK WALNUT SHORTBREAD COOKIES



Black Walnut Shortbread Cookies image

Black walnuts are known for their robust flavor, but regular walnuts also work well in these buttery, melt-in-your-mouth cookies.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Time 1h45m

Yield Makes 32

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 1/2 ounces black walnuts, coarsely chopped (1 cup)
2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons Demerara or turbinado sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toast nuts on a rimmed baking sheet until fragrant and golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
  • Beat butter and granulated sugar with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in orange zest. Reduce speed to low; add flour and salt, scraping down side of bowl as needed. Mix in walnuts.
  • Divide dough in half, and transfer each to an 8-inch square baking dish, pressing down until flat. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Prick lines into dough every inch with a fork. Bake until pale golden, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle Demerara sugar over surface of each. Bake until sugar is set, about 5 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes.

CREAM-CHEESE WALNUT COOKIES



Cream-Cheese Walnut Cookies image

Package some of these buttery, nut-edged cookies in a pretty jar as a gift.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
6 ounces cream cheese (not whipped), room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups walnut halves (1 1/2 cups toasted and coarsely chopped and 1 cup finely chopped)

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour and salt in a large bowl; set aside. Put butter and cream cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in sugar and vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture, and mix until just combined (do not overmix). Mix in toasted walnuts.
  • Transfer dough to a work surface. Divide in half; shape each half into an 8 1/2-inch long log about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap each log in parchment paper; freeze until firm, about 30 minutes or up to 2 weeks.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Unwrap 1 log, and roll in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, coating completely. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Space 1 inch apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake cookies, rotating halfway through, until golden around edges, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks. Repeat with remaining log and remaining 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.

Tips:

  • Use fresh black walnuts. Fresh black walnuts have a more intense flavor than dried walnuts. If you can't find fresh black walnuts, you can substitute dried black walnuts, but be sure to soak them in water for at least 2 hours before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a low temperature. Baking the cookies at a low temperature will help them to bake evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

Black walnut cream cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from potlucks to bake sales. With their rich, nutty flavor and creamy frosting, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
