Walnut Cups

My favorite holiday cookie and the only one I can actually makes

This turned out great. Here are the changes I made: I added 1 TBS of cornstarch, 2 TBS of powdered sugar, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract to the crust, and 1/2 tsp of hazelnut extract to the filling. Make the 24 dough balls first (I divided it into 6 little logs, then cut each log into 4 pieces and rolled into balls). Skip the paper liners, spray a little cooking spray on the muffin tin, and bake for 20 minutes at 325 (not 375) to prevent sticking and too much browning. Otherwise, as others mentioned, you might run out of dough or end up with not enough dough in each cup. Use a melon baller or mini-cookie scoop to get the same amount of filling in each one with no mess. Powdered sugar makes a pretty topping!

Amazing. Fill the cups with your chopped walnuts then pour the liquid mixture over it. Just easier and neater. These are amazing. Better then store bought. ??

This is one of my favorite Christmas cookies ever! My family has been making them for years. You don't need to worry about the liners or even greasing the pan, since there's so much butter in the dough. It can be a bit of a pain to press the dough into the pans. Instead you can just roll them into balls and then use a wooden pastry tamp dipped in flour - totally worth the $10 on amazon! Makes the whole process a lot faster and more professional looking
