Cookies
Description
We do not add baking powder to the dough, as it contains enough fat, which allows this cookie to be stored for a long time in a closed container. The original recipe does not include vanilla, but I recommend adding vanilla or nutmeg to soften the pronounced smell of egg yolks. Enjoy your cooking! Serve cooled or slightly warm.

Step 1
Prepare the necessary ingredients. Take the butter out of the refrigerator in advance so it softens. Finely chop the walnut kernels in a way convenient for you. I simply roll them with a rolling pin.

Step 4
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Roll out the dough into a 0.5 cm thick layer. Cut out cookies using a shot glass. Make a small indentation in the center of each piece. I got 40 pieces.

Place the dough pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Brush with lightly beaten egg white and generously sprinkle with chopped walnuts. Bake for 20–25 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool.
