There are not many cookie recipes made just for black walnuts and, contrary to what some people believe, black walnuts do not taste the same as regular walnuts. This recipe makes use of the unique and distinctive taste of the black walnut. The cookie is easy to assemble and bake. It can be soft or crunchy depending on the size you make it and the length of time you bake it. It has a wonderful flavor is will certainly be different from all the other cookies on any cookie platter. The difference between this and a regular walnut make this cookie more of an adult pleasure than a cookie for the kids. Grab a cup of coffee and indulge!
