Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
For a richer flavor, toast the black walnuts lightly before chopping. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant.
If you don't have maple extract, you can substitute with vanilla extract or almond extract for a slightly different flavor profile.
The cookie dough logs can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Just be sure to wrap them tightly.
Watch the cookies carefully while baking, as they can burn easily. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
