Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Walnuts, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fluffy and well combined, another 2 minutes.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold the chopped walnuts into the dough using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Step 7
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will remain soft.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
