For a richer flavor, brown the butter before creaming it with the other wet ingredients. Be sure to let it cool slightly before adding the egg yolks. Toasting the nuts before pressing them into the cookies enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch. If the dough becomes too soft to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before rolling into balls.
