Were such an easy, fast and tasty cookie. I don't have the time or the skill to get fancy and these were great!

I loved these cookies. In fact they are so good, I will have to make a double batch for this years cookie swap just so I can have plenty to eat at home. They are extremely easy to make as well.

I make these every year!!! They are the yummiest cookies ever! A little tip for all you bakers... you should try toasting the flour and nuts before mixing then let cool and then finish the recipe. It really brings out the nutty flavor!!!!!!

Would not make this again.
I followed the easy instructions, and they looked nice when they were done. But when I bit into them, they were very crumbly...just too messy to eat without standing over the sink. Perhaps substituting half shortening with the butter would be a good idea to make them a bit more sturdy, but I'm not going to try these again. I love trying new recipes, but my standard xmas cookie choices knock the socks off these. (I'm going to a cookie exchange tomorrow, so I know I'll get rid of these then.)

I got my recipe out of an old Mexican cookbook and I've made them for the last 30 yrs. But I roll them in wax paper like a long hotdog, refridgerate for 2 hours, (or up to 4 days) cut 1/2 inch slices and bake (easier), then roll in powdered sugar. These are the best little cookie ever and a Very BIG hit at any function, whether Holiday or not!!
