- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour 115 g
- 2 tbsp walnuts roughly chopped
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp milk more or less
- 1 tbsp crushed walnuts for garnish
Instructions
- Put sugar and cardamoms along with 1/4 cup of walnuts in a grinder jar and grind them to a powder. Keep aside.
- Take a bowl and by using electric beater, whisk the butter untill creamy. In case you don't have electric beater, you can use wire whisk also. In 2 to 3 minutes using electric beater, butter will turn fluffy and creamy.
- Add grinded sugar & walnuts mixture into a bowl.
- Whisk them again to mix well.
- Now add wheat flour, chopped walnuts, baking soda and salt. Skip salt if the butter you are using is already salted.
- With the help of your hand, start bringing everything together into a dough. Remember, don't knead the mixture but only bring it together.
- Add a very little of milk in case the mixture is not binding together. We only need to add about 2 tsp of milk for making a dough.
- Make small lemon size pieces of the dough. We could made 18 pieces.
- Now roll each piece into a ball by rolling them between your palms one by one.
- Arrange all balls on a baking tray lined with greased butter paper or parchment paper. See, keep distance in each ball as they will spread a little on baking.
- Take 2 pinches of crushed walnuts and press gently on the top of ball. Repeat the same for all balls. Don't put much pressure otherwise balls may break.
- Place the tray in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- After the said period, bake @160°C in a preheated oven in the middle rack with both the rods on for 25 to 30 minutes.
- Once done, take the tray out and let Cookies cool down completely.
- Walnut Cookies are ready.
- Enjoy.
Notes
Instead of cardamoms, you can add vanilla essence.
