Recipe From Karen's Kitchen
BLACK WALNUT COOKIES
1 c. butter, softened
1 c. sugar
1 c. firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
3 c. all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 c. black walnuts, chopped
Cream butter and sugars together. Add eggs and beat until smooth. Combine flour, salt, and soda, and add to creamed mixture until well blended. Stir in nuts and divide into 3 equal balls. Shape each ball into a log on a piece of waxed paper. The logs should be about the size of a fifty cent piece and apprx. 12 inches long. Wrap the logs in the waxed paper and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Slice 1/4 inch thick and place on parchment lined baking sheets leaving a good inch between as they spread some.
Bake in a 375 oven for 10 - 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
***These are delicious as is, but for a real treat, dip half of the cookie in melted chocolate and sprinkle with chocolate jimmies. Enjoy!!!!
