Expert Tips

For cookies with more dazzle, use coarse red and green sparkling sugars instead of the colored granulated sugars.

Chopped pecans can be used instead of the walnuts.

I used Hershey buttons for the center of these cookies which turn out like a walnut shortbread. They are pretty but were a lot of work to form. Not sure I'll make these for my trays next year but mostly because I found several other great recipes to use instead.

These were a hit at my cookie exchange. A word to the wise, please be sure to bake these at 350, my daughter tried the first batch on her own and burned the bottoms, 400 is way to high!!!
