Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   Tip: Use a baking mat for easy cleanup

2. 2

   Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.

   Tip: Make sure to sift the flour for a lighter texture

3. 3

   In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.

   Tip: Use an electric mixer for a quicker result

4. 4

   Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the maple syrup.

   Tip: Don't overbeat, or the cookies will become tough

5. 5

   Gradually mix in the flour mixture, then stir in the chopped walnuts.

   Tip: Don't overmix, or the cookies will become dense

6. 6

   Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 5cm of space between each cookie.

   Tip: Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies

7. 7

   Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

   Tip: Don't overbake, or the cookies will become too hard

8. 8

   While the cookies are still warm, sprinkle with confectioner's sugar and white granulated sugar.

   Tip: Use a small sifter or fine-mesh strainer for an even coating

9. 9

   Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

   Tip: Let the cookies cool completely before storing in an airtight container
