Remove the butter from the refrigerator and hold at room temperature - it should become soft.

Meanwhile, remove the walnuts from the shell and place in the pan - it should be dry, that is, without oil. Fry them, then allow to cool. By the way, it is not necessary to use this particular type of nuts. You can choose to your taste. Finely chop and mix with semolina, salt, as well as baking powder and wheat flour. Mix everything well.

Take a knife and draw lines along the surface of the dough laid on a baking sheet so that you get 24 cookies. Each pierce in the center with a fork.
