For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. Toast the walnuts lightly before chopping to enhance their nutty taste. These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Try adding a pinch of nutmeg for a warmer, spicier flavor profile.
