and mix to combine.

and walnuts.
Line baking sheets with parchment paper or baking mats. Using a 1 ounce
ice-cream scoop, scoop two balls, one on top of each other, for each
cookie. Place five cookies on each baking sheet, spacing them three inches
apart. With damp hands, flatten each into a disc, about 3/4 inch thick and
2 3/4 inches wide. Bake for about 24 minutes, rotating pans between shelves
after 12 minutes. Transfer to rack to cool. Yield: 18 4 1/2 inch cookies.
