How to Make Sylvia's Walnut Cookies
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg yolk, the zest of 1 orange, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll rounded tablespoons (about ½ ounce) of dough into balls.
- Beat 1 large egg white lightly with a fork. Dip each cookie ball into the egg white.
- Roll the egg-washed balls in ½ cup finely chopped walnuts.
- Place cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
