These came out great. I gave 4 stars because the dough was a bit crumbly and I had to spend extra time forming the dough balls. However, they came out fantastic and I will make them again. I made them with pecans.

These cookies are fantastic. We've made these every year with a different recipe for our holiday cookie day and this recipe turned out great. Even better than the old recipe I had. I am so glad I tried this. Everyone loved them!

Yes! These are absolutely NUT BUTTER BALLS! I followed the directions exactly. Made 9 dozen (that's 108 cookies, recipe actually made more so don't be afraid to make them a little bigger) for a Cookie Exchange Party for the Holidays. They are just like I remembered as a child. I used the vanilla extract and used less walnuts (finely ground) as a reviewer suggested. RICH with butter ~ DELICIOUS not too sweet ~ THE BEST combination of butter, powdered sugar and walnuts!

I took these to work for our Christmas celebration. They all loved them! Several asked for the recipe to give to their spouses. I will decrease the nuts to one cup next time but that is all. This recipe is definately a keeper.

Very good. A tad floury in taste but I'm pretty sure that was my fault for not measuring exactly right. I will definately be making again. I think I'll experiment with a little extra sugar as well.

Extremely easy and tasty...a few adjustments...I used only 1 cup of nuts w/ an extra 1/2 c flour, and it was still a little too nutty (you REALLY have to like nuts) and make sure you ground the nuts really fine. Will make again w/ less nuts and I'm sure I'll love them even more!!

They were great! Really easy. We ended up using only 1/2 inch balls/cresents, because the 1 inch crescents became way to big.

These are great with chopped pecans instead of walnuts.

I added a little extra Almond extract and these cookies were awesome. They were a hit at Christmas.

I made these once with almonds and almond extract, and once with hazelnuts (filberts) and vanilla extract. They were both good, but didn't quite have the melt in my mouth texture I wanted.
