For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of softened butter. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, cooking until it turns a nutty brown color. Let it cool slightly before using. Use a variety of different colored preserves for a beautiful and festive presentation. The dough can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Let it soften slightly before shaping into balls. For a nut-free version, omit the walnuts and roll the cookies in sprinkles or finely grated coconut. To prevent the preserves from bubbling over during baking, add them after the cookies have cooled.
