For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of softened butter. If you don't have walnuts, pecans or almonds would also be delicious. These cookies freeze well. Store them in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Add a pinch of ground cloves or nutmeg to the dry ingredients for an even warmer spice profile. For a vegan version, substitute the butter with vegan butter, the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes), and ensure your sugar is vegan-friendly.
