Ingredients

3/4 cup walnuts

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

1 large egg yolk

1 tablespoon Amber Liquer by Macallan

(Amber is a single malt whisky liqueur with natural maple and pecan flavors)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

3/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment or coat with nonstick spray.

Saute the walnuts until golden brown and fragrant, about 6 minutes. Let cool, then roughtly chop about 1/2 cup of the nuts, and finely chop the remaining nuts.

Stir the flour, baking powder, salt and nuts together in a medium bowl. Set aside.

In another medium bowl, beat the butter, sugar, egg yolk, brandy and vanilla extract together with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture gets light and fluffy, about 10 minutes.

At low speed, stir in the nut mixture to make a crumbly dough. Cover the bowl and set dough aside at room temperature for 1 hour.

Roll small tablespoons of dough (about 1 inch) between palms to make balls. Pinch the ends of the balls to make a football shape. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets.

Bake until the cookies set and start to brown, about 18 minutes.

Cool slightly

Put the confectioners' sugar in a bag, and add 5 to 6 of the warm cookies to it. Very gently toss the cookies to coat with sugar. Remove them from the bag and cool cookies on a rack. Repeat with remaining cookies.

Sounds lovely, but can you describe the "Amber" liqueur? I don't recognize it ~ what flavour is it so I can find a substitute? Thanks!
