I love the recipe and highly recommend adding the crushed cornflakes. It totally completes the cookie! Everyone loves them

These cokies are fabulous. I use 4 oz of cream cheese and scoop with a small scooper or spoon. Rolling is impossible. Easy to make a double batch and taste great if you have to make them without the nuts

Made these when I was young and they are always perfection. My daughters now make them and love them. A Christmas tradition
