Notes
Feel free to experiment with different nuts like almonds or hazelnuts for a twist. To keep cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can freeze the unbaked dough balls for future baking—no need to thaw before baking! For added flavor, toast the nuts before chopping them.
