I grew up with these in crescent shapes! Loved the flavor. I used half walnuts and half pecans (what we used when I was a kid).

My sister made these growing up. I loved them. I'm glad I found the recipe here. They are delicious. If I don't have walnuts, I use pecans.

These were wonderful, and got me out of my chocolate chip funk. I added the extra vanilla and I think it made my cookies flatten out. I didn't like how the powdered sugar caked the warm cookies so I used a flour sifter to dispence the sugar evenly. Will definetly make these again, maybe with a small bit of jam.

I used 1 cup of margarine instead of shortening and used 1 cup of chocolate chips instead of walnuts. I LOVED how the recipe turned out. Oh, if the powdered sugar doesn't stick, put it in a plastic bag and place 2 cookies in there at a time and shake it for a few seconds. Take them out and then in 10MIN, powder them again and the coating sticks much better and it's thicker.

i found the only way to shape the cookie into a ball was i had to actually knead the dough before making balls was alot of extra time but cookie was ok
