Walnut Cookies

(Cevizli Kurabiye)

250 ml unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 egg yolks
1 tsp baking powder
2 1/4 cup flour, all purpose

for top:
Egg white
1/3 cup walnut, crushed

Cream the powdered sugar with butter. Add the egg yolks. Then slowly add the flour and baking powder. Make sure everything's well mixed. Make chestnut sized balls with your hands. First dip (only one side) in the egg white then in the crumbled walnut. Repeat for the remaining dough. Put parchment paper on an oven tray and arrange them on it.

Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C) and bake for about 25 minutes or until the tops take a light pink colour.
