Time 1h35m

Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup walnuts, toasted
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Pulse walnuts in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer to a bowl, and whisk in flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Beat butter, sugar, and vanilla with a mixer on high speed until pale and fluffy. Reduce speed to low. Gradually beat in walnut mixture.
  • Divide dough into eighteen 1 1/2-inch balls, and press into irregular stone shapes using the palm of your hand; transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Dust food-safe plastic insects with flour to coat; press into dough to make fossil impressions. Freeze until dough is very firm, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Bake until golden brown and firm in center, 25 to 28 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack, and let cool.

These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but they still tasted good.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and hard. I followed the recipe exactly.
