Walnut Cookies

Walnut Cookies, is my all-time favorite Walnut cookies. As soon as you bite one, it breaks up into small granules in your mouth. With every grind you feel the rich flavor of Walnuts oozing out. When made to perfection, they attain the much desired granulated texture due to added Walnut powder. I would suggest you to savor each one by serving them warm with any hot beverage (Not in Sheldon Cooper’s Way though).

Ingredients:

3 cup of All Purpose Flour/ Maida

1 Cup Sugar

 1 Cup Butter

 1 tsp of Vanilla Extract

 1 tsp Almond Extract

 3 tbsp Warm Water

1 Cup Chopped Walnuts

½ Cup Walnut Powder
