How to Make Cinnamon Walnut Macaroon Cookies

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Line cooling racks with damp paper towels.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
In a large, clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form (about 3 minutes).
With the mixer running, gradually add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form (about 5 minutes total).
Reduce mixer speed to low. Add the dry ingredients, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon walnut extract. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts (or your preferred nut) using a rubber spatula.
Drop heaping tablespoons of batter onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the cookies onto the prepared cooling racks.
Let cookies cool completely before peeling away the parchment paper.
