Best Walnut Coffee Cookies Recipes
COFFEE & WALNUT CREAM COOKIES (BISCUITS)
These are more of a special occasion treat than an everyday cookie. Also, these are probably more for older tastes than for kids. (A big hit with adults at a recent engagement party.) Don't be scared that it looks like a lot of work - they really aren't that bad! You will need a 5.5cm round cookie cutter. Australian measurements used. Taken from Australian Women's Weekly: Cookies.

WALNUT COFFEE COOKIES
These delicious cookies have a wonderful texture -- somewhat sandy, like a rich shortbread cookie, but a little more crunchy-firm, almost like biscotti. The walnuts play a starring role, appearing in the dough and as a rolled-in coating. Frankly, these are perhaps more of an adult cookie than one kids will clamor for, because they're a tad less sweet than many cookies. But that's not necessarily a bad thing, is it?

Steps:
- Combine 1 1/4 cups of the walnuts, the flour, baking powder, and salt in a food processor.
- Pulse the machine repeatedly until the nuts are chopped into very fine pieces.
- Set aside.
- Finely chop the remaining nuts by hand and set them aside in a small bowl.
- Using an electric mixer, cream the butter until smooth, gradually adding the sugar. Beat in the egg, then stir in the vanilla and coffee.
- Add the dry mixture to the creamed ingredients, stirring the dough with a wooden spoon until evenly combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Adjust one oven rack so it is in the center position.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Get out 1 or 2 large baking sheets and butter them lightly or line with parchment.
- Pinch off pieces of dough and roll into balls 1 1/4-inches in diameter.
- Roll in the finely chopped nuts and place on the cookie sheet/s, leaving a little room between them.
- Bake -- one sheet at a time -- for 16 to 18 minutes, until firm to the touch.
- Cool briefly on the sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling. Store in an airtight container.
