For a richer flavor, try toasting the walnuts lightly before grinding them. Feel free to experiment with different nuts, such as pecans, almonds, or hazelnuts. If you don't have vanilla extract, you can substitute with almond extract or a pinch of nutmeg. These cookies are best stored in an airtight container to maintain their crisp texture.
