What a great recipe! These cookies have so much going for them: The dough is easy to prepare with simple ingredients, the dough can be refrigerated or frozen until needed, and the cookies themselves are just heavenly! They aren't too sweet, just tender and buttery...melt-in-your-mouth good. The recipe made only 22 cookies for me, so I must have made them too big :).

these cookies are wonderful... I always look for walnut recipes, and this is so good! I've made them 4 or 5 times now, and this last time, we didn't just roll in powdred sugar, we drizzled them with glaxe.
