1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Preparation

Mix 2/3 cup nuts, flour, baking powder, sugar, vanilla, spice mix, egg, butter and a pinch of salt. Stir with a wooden spoon to combine, then knead on a floured work surface to form a ball of dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 mins.
