Notes
Tips
The walnuts are optional. You can leave them out or substitute chopped pecans.
If the dough feels very soft or the first batch spreads too much, chill the remaining dough until it is firm enough to scoop.
To get ahead, scoop the dough onto a baking sheet and freeze until firm. Transfer the portions to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to two months. Thaw in the refrigerator before baking as directed.
