I made these for Christmas Eve and they were a big hit. Also left off the nuts and got many raves. Tasted even better after they had been refrigerated a while. Will definitely make again.

What a moist and delicious cookie! I used a small batter scoop instead of rolling the dough into balls. I think it made the recipe easier. I left off the nuts. These were such a hit!
