Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter (at room temperature)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs (separated)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chopped walnuts (crushed finely)
- 1 1/2 cups vanilla buttercream frosting
- 1 cup chocolate chunks
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth.
- Mix in the egg yolks (save the whites) and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until well combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with nonstick baking mats.
- Place the egg whites in a small bowl and use the fork to whisk lightly.
- Place the chopped walnuts in another bowl.
- Roll out the dough into 1" balls. Dip the balls into the egg whites, then roll in the chopped nuts.
- Place on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven and press your thumb into the top of each cookie to make a well.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake another 5 minutes.
- Move the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are cool, fill the centers of the cookies with vanilla buttercream. Do this by snipping of the corner of a zippered bag and filling with buttercream. Squeeze the frosting through the tip to fill the cookie. You can also use a cake decorating bag.
- Then press a chocolate chunk or chocolate candy into the center of the frosting.
