Walnut Refrigerator Cookies

Submitted by Georgeann Dodge

"My friend, Carolyn, brought these cookies into the quilt shop where I work and I begged her for the recipe. This is a delicious, fast refrigerator cookie that has just the right amount of sweetness. I made a batch at my first opportunity and my hubby loved them as much as I did, especially with a hot cup of coffee. The rolls of dough would be great to put in the freezer too, so you could have these little gems whenever you want too."
