Tips:

  • Use fresh black walnuts. This will give your cookies the best flavor. If you can't find fresh black walnuts, you can use dried black walnuts, but they will not have as strong a flavor.
  • Toast the black walnuts before using them. This will enhance their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to create a smooth and creamy cookie dough.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients gradually. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are just beginning to brown around the edges.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving.

Conclusion:

Black walnut cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their rich, nutty flavor and chewy texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give black walnut cookies a try.
