Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an ungreased baking sheet.

Gradually add the sifted all-purpose flour to the mixture at low speed until just combined.

Gently fold in the chopped walnuts using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.

Using a tablespoon or your hands, shape the dough into small balls, approximately 1/2 tablespoon each, and place them on the prepared cookie sheet with some space between each ball.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 8 minutes or until lightly golden and set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
