These cookies are so good, but they sre even better when you add 1/4 cup cocoa and one cup chocolate chips! Can't stop eating them! -
I made these to go on my Christmas platters this year and everyone really liked them. I used pecans instead of walnuts as that is what I had. I was surprised that the frosting set up better than I thought it would. Thank you so much.

I don't really like to cook that much, but I love to bake. My favorite thing to do is bake yummy homemade cupcakes, brownies, cookies, and more. I enjoy eating bake goods as much as making them! I have a sweet Miniature Schnazer named Oliver that we adopted from the animal shelter. I like to collect old cookbooks, the oldest one I have is from 1913. My favorite magazines are Bon Appitite and Martha Stewart's Every Day Food. I just became a Certified Nursing Assistant. Around my house i'm known as the pissed off baker because when I bake you better stay out of the kitchen!!!
