Shortbread cookies with nuts are the favorite crumbly baked goods of children and adults. A great addition to a cup of tea or warm cocoa. It is very simple to prepare at home, but it turns out much tastier than the purchased ones.
We all know that it is impossible to overuse baking, but without it it’s too bad. After eating just a couple of cookies with nuts, you will get enough calories and a boost of energy for the whole day, and also a lot of pleasure.
I prepare the dough for shortbread cookies with walnuts on the basis of softened butter. Of course, it would be more correct to use margarine, because with it it turns out to be more crumbly. But in our time, the presence of unnecessary ingredients in its composition is embarrassing. But children love these cookies so much! If you are making a margarine-based shortbread dough, then choose it plant-based and free of trans fats. Although, on the other hand, vegetable fats are much easier to digest and assimilate by the body than animals. In general, it's up to you what to use.
Of course, you can buy delicious shortbread cookies, but by making them yourself, you will always be sure of the quality of the products used and the storage conditions. And cooking it is elementary. The ingredients for the walnut shortbread recipe are available to everyone. And if your children help you, this process will be very fun and exciting for them. First, prepare the shortbread dough, roll and squeeze out the figures, then brush with a beaten egg, sprinkle with sugar and nuts, and bake. That's all. The result is a crumbly, tender and crunchy cookie. And your household will be delighted.

Step-by-step preparation of shortbread cookies with nuts
1. Combine butter with sugar. Mix it with a mixer or whisk. The sugar should be completely dissolved. The oil should be used softened, so you need to get it out of the refrigerator in advance and keep it at room temperature for several hours. You can also use powder instead of sugar for a faster bonding process.
2. Add a pinch of salt, one egg and mix well.
3. Then add flour and knead the shortcrust pastry dough with nuts. It should be soft, gentle and not sticky to your hands. Place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. It is always easier to work with chilled dough.
4. Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Sprinkle the table with flour and roll it out with a rolling pin at least 4-5 millimeters thick. If it sticks, try rolling it between two layers of parchment. Then squeeze out the desired figures with special tools.
5. Before making shortbread cookies with nuts, line a baking sheet with non-stick paper and place the figures cut out of the dough on it. Then take one chicken egg, beat until smooth and brush each cookie on top with a beaten egg using a silicone brush.
6. In the next step, sprinkle the cookies with sugar and walnuts. Take any nuts: almonds, peanuts, hazelnuts. I use walnuts. They need to be chopped a little with a knife. You can also take flax, sesame, pumpkin or sunflower seeds. In general, your choice.
7. Bake cookies in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Look all the time, as the dough bakes very quickly, and the oven is different for everyone, so the time may differ. During the baking process, the sugar and the egg will act as an anchor for the nuts. Sprinkle the finished cookies with powder if desired.
Such cookies with nuts are crumbly, moderately sweet, tender and very tasty. A great addition not only to home tea, but also to the festive table. Cook and you won't regret it.
