The use of cinnamon and walnuts adds a unique twist to the classic sugar cookie, giving them a nutty and delicious flavor.

1.	Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2.	In a large bowl, mix the oil and sugar together until well combined.
3.	Add in the flour, finely ground walnuts, eggs, vanilla extract, and cinnamon, mixing until just combined to form a dough.
4.	Roll the dough into small balls and place them onto a baking sheet.
5.	Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden brown.
