For a richer flavor, try using brown butter shortening. Make sure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh for the best rise. Black walnuts can be strong! Adjust the amount to your preference; you can also use regular walnuts. These cookies freeze beautifully! Store them in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
