Spice Nut Cookies
"From a free Penzey's recipe card. I haven't tried this recipe yet, but it sounds good! Note that the cookie dough (formed into a log) needs to rest in the refrigerator overnight."

Made these, along with another cookie recipe, with my other half sharing some with co-workers one day & my son & DIL confiscating a few for themselves when they were here! Used toasted pecans this time around & they turned out very well, I thought! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed while in Germany with ZWT6]

Wonderful Recipe! Of course, I changed it a little bit by using Black Walnuts and of course more spice than described. :) Also, I added 1 tsp of Anise extract. Yum! I also made a simple icing using 1/4c butter, 4TBSP Apple Cider, 1tsp pumpkin spice extract and 4c powdered sugar. That really did it!!!
