DESCRIPTION
These simple walnut-infused sugar cookies are made by incorporating ground walnuts into the dough for an extra nutty flavor. The cookies are then brushed with a thin layer of icing and topped with a walnut half for a finishing touch!
1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar (may substitute with vanilla paste or extract)
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup water
Food coloring spray in gold and silver
60 individual California walnut halves
Preparation
Preheat oven: Electric Oven: 350°F; Convection: 300°F; Gas: see manufacturer’s specifications.
Grind 2 cups of walnuts in food processor until coarsely ground. Add flour, butter, salt, sugar, vanilla sugar (or substitute), egg and chopped walnuts to a mixing bowl.
Use a dough hook or hands to knead a short crust. Roll dough into log, and wrap with plastic wrap or wax paper, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Cut log into small 1/4 inch rounds. Spread the circles on three baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake each sheet individually in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes each. Take the cookies out of the oven and let cool.
For the icing, sift powdered sugar in a bowl and mix with water. Brush each cookie with the icing and let it dry for about 1 hour. Set the remaining icing aside.
Spray one half of each cookie in gold and the other half in silver. Tip: use a piece of paper to cover each half while the other side is being sprayed. Add the remaining icing on each of the remaining walnut halves and place one on top of each cookie. Let dry, and serve.
These rich, chocolatey brownies will stack up against the best of them—and they just happen to include shredded sweetpotatoes. It goes without saying (we hope!) that sweetpotatoes add fiber and nutrients. But perhaps even better, they help make the brownies decadently moist and tender.
This savory-sweet twist on a classic baklava layers crispy bacon, coarsely chopped California Walnuts, and plump raisins between delicate buttery phyllo sheets. A fragrant vanilla orange blossom syrup infuses each bite with a rich sweetness, while the walnuts bring a satisfying crunch that perfectly complements the smoky bacon. Ideal for…
Embrace the warmth of fall flavors with this rustic crisp. Tender pears and chewy dried figs mingle in a cinnamon-spiced base, crowned with a buttery walnut crumble that’s irresistibly crisp and nutty. Enjoy it warm from the skillet, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate cozy dessert.
