This recipe is more fragrant cos the walnuts are roasted, ground fine and added to the dough. Using peanut oil made a good difference as it enhances the nutty flavor.
90 g all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
a pinch of salt
40 g confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup roasted and ground walnuts
75 - 80 ml peanut oil
Egg Wash:
egg yolk plus 1 tbsp water
Method:
Sieve flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and confectioners' sugar.
Add in the ground walnuts and the peanut oil and knead into a soft dough.
Divide dough into small portions (1 use a melon ball scoop as a guage but you can just eye ball the size you desire) and roll into a ball. Flatten ball slightly and arrange them onto lined baking sheets.
Glaze cookies with egg wash
Put to bake in preheated oven 350 f for 12 - 15 minutes until golden brown. Baking time defers according to the size of the cookies.

Love those cracks. I love these cookies. I need to try baking some. Thanks very much for the tips using peanut oil.
Thank you, Lily, for sharing this recipe. The walnut cookies were very "deliciously sou" indeed!
I wanted to do some baking for the Chinese New Year and these cookies were delicious. Can't stop eating them. They're almost all gone even before the New Year. I think mine were just a little too crumbly. They complete fall apart after handling them a few times. Any suggestion on how I can fix it?

if they are so delicate, use a little less oil the next time, Use just enough to bind the dough
