Would not make this again.
I was disappointed by this cookie, it was crunchy, but not as flavorful as I was hoping it would be. three stars

I love this recipe! My grandma always had refrigerator cookies in her cookie jar, and I remember black walnut cookies especially. I like to keep a roll in the freezer to slice and bake anytime. five stars

Would make this again.
I have been baking many different types of cookies to fill Christmas tins for family and friends. I wanted to get a variety of flavors and colors. These cookies were delicious and soft, they added very nicely to the assortment. I baked them at 350 for 8 minutes, they were just golden around the edges and perfect, another batch I left in for another minute and it changed the smell and texture. five stars

Would make this again.
these are just like my mother-inlaw's old favorite ...she always would sprinkle with colored sugars before baking (this is the part my kids enjoy doing) easy and festive for the holidays. five stars
