These Walnut Butter Cookies are soft, buttery, and loaded with nutty flavor from chopped walnuts. They’re simple to make, perfectly crisp on the edges, and tender in the middle – ideal for cookie trays, tea time, or anytime you want a comforting homemade treat.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. Cream butter and sugars:
    In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).

  3. Add wet ingredients:
    Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.

  4. Mix dry ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients.

  5. Fold in walnuts:
    Stir in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.

  6. Scoop and bake:
    Roll or scoop dough into 1-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with your palm or the bottom of a glass.

  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Centers will still be soft.

  8. Cool and serve:
    Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

 

Notes

  • Toast the walnuts first for extra flavor!

  • Cookies can be frozen baked or unbaked (freeze dough balls and bake from frozen with 1–2 extra minutes).

  • Want more texture? Add ½ cup oats or mini chocolate chips.
