For a deeper walnut flavor, toast the chopped walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant, before adding them to the dough. Ensure the butter is softened but not melted for the best cookie texture. Feel free to experiment with other nuts, such as pecans or macadamia nuts, for a different flavor profile. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
