Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened or at room temperature
- 1/2 cup toasted walnuts, very finely chopped
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, chopped even smaller
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar, plus more for rolling
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and adjust your rack to the middle position.Â
- Using a mixer, cream together the butter, walnuts, chocolate, 1/3 cup powdered sugar, and the vanilla. Mix just until blended. Add the flour and cinnamon and mix just until combined. The dough will be quite firm. If it’s way too firm to handle, go ahead and add 1 tablespoon of water.Â
- Form the wedding cookie dough into 1-inch balls. Place on un-greased cookie sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove cookies to wire racks to cool slightly. Toss or roll your Danish Wedding Cookies in powdered sugar, and then allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
To toast your walnuts, simply place them in a small, dry skillet over medium heat and toast, stirring a few times, until you smell them; about 3 to 4 minutes.Â
