For an even richer flavor, use browned butter in this recipe. Allow the browned butter to cool and solidify before creaming it with the sugar. Toasting the nuts before adding them to the dough enhances their flavor and adds a pleasant crunch. If the dough is too soft to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before shaping into balls. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
