Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup finely chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts)
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Step 3
Mix in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the bowl, mixing on low speed until the dough just comes together, being careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Fold in the finely chopped nuts using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
Step 6
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball using your palms. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 7
Gently flatten each dough ball slightly with the palm of your hand.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown. Avoid overbaking to retain a soft texture.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Step 10
Once the cookies are fully cooled, dust them generously with powdered sugar for a sweet and elegant finish.
Step 11
Serve and enjoy these delightful Kindli Cookies with a warm cup of tea or coffee!
