For a richer flavor, use browned butter in the recipe. Let the browned butter cool and solidify before creaming it with the sugar. Toasting the walnuts enhances their nutty flavor and adds a delightful depth to the cookies. Don't skip the cooling step! The cookies are fragile when warm and need to cool completely to hold their shape. Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
