This is a great cookie and fairly easy to make. The black walnuts add a wonderful and different flavor. five stars

Would make this again.
These cookies are easy to make. Good flavor. I suggest putting a smear of grease on the pan before baking. I plan on doubling the recipe next time. My son-in-law said they were crisp but a soft cookie. five stars
