Cooking instruction summary:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt baking powder and ginger. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or with a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugar until combined. Brown sugar doesnt get as light and fluffy as granulated. Add the egg and vanilla and continue to beat until completely incorporated. Turn the mixer speed to low and add in the flour until almost totally incorporated. Stir in the walnuts. Divide the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll into a log about 2 inches in diameter. Refrigerate. The dough will be soft at this point so if you want perfectly round cookies (raise your hand if youre a perfectionist), take them out after about an hour and tighten the log to create a perfect circle. Chill overnight. When ready to bake preheat oven to 375F. Slice log into 1/8 inch slices, place 1 inch apart on parchment lined baking sheets, and bake 7-10 minutes in preheated oven until the edges have set and the centers are matte and no longer look doughy.Allow to cool 10 minutes on baking sheet and then cool completely on a wire rack.
