Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the first six ingredients. Add the soft butter and mix it into the flour with your fingers. It will be a crumbly mixture. Add the egg and mix. Knead it a couple of times and form into a disk. Wrap with plastic wrap, flatten it, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the chopped walnuts and parsley on a work surface. Place the dough on top and, with a lightly dusted rolling pin, roll out to a ¼-inch thickness. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes. Cut with a 2-inch round or fluted cookie cutter. Place the crackers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

3. Brush the tops with the olive oil and bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
