# List of Ingredients:

01 - 1 ½ cups blanched almond flour
02 - ¼ cup coconut flour
03 - ½ teaspoon baking powder
04 - ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
→ Wet Ingredients
05 - ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

07 - 1 large egg
08 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

# Step-by-step Instructions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt until evenly distributed.
03 - In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sweetener with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 2 minutes.
04 - Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until fully combined and smooth.
05 - Gradually stir the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture, mixing until a cohesive dough forms.
06 - Gently fold the chopped walnuts into the dough until evenly distributed throughout.
07 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each portion slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
08 - Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers appear set.
09 - Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
# Expert Advice:

- Toasting the walnuts in a dry pan for three minutes before adding them transforms the flavor from good to absolutely unforgettable.
03 -
- If your dough feels too sticky to handle, refrigerate it for twenty minutes and it firms right up.
- Press a single walnut half into the top of each cookie before baking for a bakery style look that costs zero extra effort.
