How to Make Walnut Cheese Wafers

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place 1 cup of walnuts in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Set aside.
  3. Add 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the food processor bowl.
  4. Cut 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture.
  5. Pulse in short bursts until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  6. Coarsely grate 1 cup of your favorite hard cheese (e.g., Parmesan, Pecorino Romano) directly into the processor. Add the reserved chopped walnuts and pulse just until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out thinly (about 1/8 inch thick).
  8. Use a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter to cut the dough into rounds. Place them on ungreased baking sheets.
  9. Lightly brush the tops of the wafers with 1 large egg, beaten.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the wafers are golden brown and crisp.
  11. Let the wafers cool completely on a wire rack before storing in an airtight container.
