For a more intense nutty flavor, toast the walnuts lightly before chopping. Feel free to experiment with different nut varieties, such as pecans or almonds. If the dough becomes too sticky to handle, add a tablespoon or two of extra flour. For a festive touch, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
