In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the crushed walnuts until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log approximately 5 cm (2 inches) in diameter.
Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to overnight. Alternatively, the dough can be frozen for up to 1 month.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using a sharp knife, slice the chilled dough into 0.6 cm (1/4-inch) thick rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2.5 cm (1 inch) apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
