Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3/4 cup walnuts; 3/4 cup whole wheat flour; 3/4 cup all-purpose flour; 1/2 cup butter; 1/2 teaspoon baking powder; 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar; 1 egg yolk; 1 tablespoon amaretto liqueur; 1 teaspoon almond extract; 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Servings: persons

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2
Toast the walnuts until golden brown and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Let cool, then chop about half of the nuts.
3
Pulse the remaining nuts in the food processor until finely ground.
4
Stir the flour, baking powder, salt and nuts together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
5
In another medium bowl, beat the butter, sugar, egg yolk, amaretto and almond extract together with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture gets light and fluffy, about 10 minutes.
6
At low speed, stir in the nut mixture to make a crumbly dough. Cover the bowl and set dough aside at room temperature for 1 hour.
7
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment or coat with nonstick spray.
8
With a tablespoon, scoop pieces of dough and roll into balls between the palms of your hands. Pinch the ends of the balls to make a football shape. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the cookies set and start to brown, about 18 minutes.
9
Remove cookies from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Place the warm cookies on a bag with 1 cup of confectioners sugar and shake gently to coat with sugar.
10
Cool completely and coat in the sugar again. Place the cookies on the rack once more to allow time for the sugar to ader before serving or storing.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
