For a richer flavor, toast the walnuts lightly before chopping. Don't overmix the dough, as this can result in tough cookies. Chilling the dough is essential for preventing the cookies from spreading too much during baking. For a festive touch, add a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
