Cream the butter with the yolk in a bowl (using a mixer or manually); when it turns a yellowish color, add the sugar and vanilla while continuing to beat. In another bowl, sift the flour and salt, and gradually add them to the mixture until a manageable ball forms. Place the egg white in a bowl and beat lightly. In another bowl, place the finely chopped nuts. Preheat the oven while we prepare the cookies. Make balls about 1.5 cm in diameter and dip them in the beaten egg white, then roll them in the walnuts to cover the entire surface, and place them on a greased baking tray. Use your index finger to make an indentation (hole) in each one. Cream the butter and powdered sugar, then add the flour, salt, and vanilla essence, continuing to beat. Finally, add the walnuts and mix until integrated. Shape the walnut kisses and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the cookies at 180 °C for 15 minutes. Mix the powdered sugar and cornstarch in a bowl and roll the walnut kisses, freshly out of the oven, in the previous mixture.
