For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a pleasant crunch. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Don't overmix the dough, as this will result in tough cookies. Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading too much during baking. For a softer cookie, bake for 9 minutes. For a crispier cookie, bake for 12 minutes. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
