Ingredients

For cookies:

3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup finely grated walnuts also called walnut meal or walnut flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1-1/3 cup unsalted butter room temperature
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 large egg room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For cinnamon sugar:

1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone sheet pan liner.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl whisk together all-purpose flour, finely chopped walnuts, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt. Set aside until ready to use.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, with a paddle attachment, add unsalted butter and brown sugar.
Cream together the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add in the egg and vanilla extra and mix just until combined, about 1 minute.
With the mixer on medium-low speed, add in the dry ingredients until well combined, no-remaining flour is in the bowl and the dough starts to stick and get pulled in by the paddle attachment.
Lightly flour your counter or a large cutting board, and add the dough to the floured area.
Gently bring together the dough to form a disc and using a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out until its 1/4 inch thick.
Cut out your cookies and place on your prepared baking sheet pans.
Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until the edges are a bit golden.
While your cookies are baking, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
Once your cookies are ready, remove them from the oven and while they are still hot, cover them completely with the sugar mixture.
Let cool completely before serving.
