Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place the butter and 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the walnuts in the carafe of a food processor. Pulse until almost finely ground, checking after every 5 seconds, about 30 seconds total.

- Scoop the dough by heaping tablespoons and roll into a smooth ball in between your palms. Place onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
- Bake until golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheets for 3 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Place the remaining 1 cup confectioners' sugar in a large bowl. Working in batches, add the cooled cookies to the sugar and toss until evenly coated in sugar. Sprinkle the tops of the cookies lightly with paprika if desired before serving.

Steps:
- Put 1/2 cup of the walnuts and the salt in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Roughly chop the remaining 1 cup walnuts.
- Position two oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
- Beat the butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the granulated sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat in the flour, then the ground and chopped walnuts. Divide the dough in half, forming each half into a ball. Wrap separately in plastic and chill until cold, about 30 minutes.
- Put the confectioners' sugar in a large bowl.
- Working with half of the chilled dough at a time and keeping the rest in the fridge, roll the dough by 2 teaspoonfuls between your palms into balls. Arrange the balls on a large baking sheet, spacing them 1/2 inch apart.
- Bake the cookies until golden brown on the bottom and just pale golden on top, about 18 minutes. Cool the cookies for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Toss the warm cookies in the powdered sugar. Transfer the sugar-coated cookies to a rack to cool completely. The cookies can be prepared up to 2 days ahead. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container. You need to make sure they are cooled before storing them, otherwise they will get soggy. Sift additional powdered sugar and cinnamon over the cookies if desired before serving.

SPICY MEXICAN COOKIES (CHOCOLATE)
If you're looking for a chocolate cookie with a real kick, look no further. These cookies are a perfect marriage of chocolate and spicy. They are firm, but chewy-melt-in-your-mouth. For comparison, I lean toward "medium" heat when it comes to salsa. This recipe is adapted from an excellent food blog called Baking Bites.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa, cinnamon, cayenne, salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until light and fluffy.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients until they are fully blended into the dough and no traces of the flour mix remain.
- Divide the dough in two and roll each half into a log that's 9 inches long. Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap and place in the freezer overnight or a minimum eight hours (if you're not interested in baking the whole batch at once, the dough will keep up to six weeks in the freezer).
- Having been frozen, the dough will require a small amount of effort to cut through. With a sharp knife, cut 1/3" cookies from the dough. Bake at 375° F for 8-10 minutes or until edges are firm. Allow cookies to cool 30 seconds to a minute then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
