Steps

1. Beat 0.5 cups of butter, white sugar, egg yolk, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla until light and fluffy.

4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
5. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; dip in egg white, then roll in walnuts. Place on greased baking sheets. Make an indentation with your thumb in the center of each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the center is set.
