Time 1h16m

Yield 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 -1 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt (like kosher salt)
2 cups unsalted butter, softened
6 ounces cream cheese (not whipped)
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract

Whisk together flour and salt in a large bowl; set aside.
Mix butter and cream cheese on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in sugar and vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture, and mix until just combined (do not overmix). Mix in toasted walnuts.
Transfer dough to a work surface. Divide in half; shape each half into an 8 1/2-inch long log about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap each log in parchment paper; freeze until firm, about 30 minutes or up to 2 weeks.

Bake cookies, rotating halfway through, until golden around edges, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks. Repeat with remaining log and remaining 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
