Irish Blue Cheese and Walnut Shortbread

• 1 cup/225 g unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 4 oz/115

In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, blue cheese, sugar, and salt on medium-high speed until fluffy, 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the whiskey, and beat to combine. Add the flour and stir on low speed until the flour is just absorbed and the dough comes together in clumps, 20 seconds. Add the nuts and stir into the dough by hand.
