I gave these as gifts for Christmas this year. They look so festive and yummy. They turn out good to, so they tell me. The ones pictured on top don't have walnuts because I was making them for Ceri (my sister) and she's allergic. But, nuts or no nuts they are supper yummy and super cute. Plus who wouldn't like a cookie named "hootycreek"? The name alone scores it points!
