These sound yummy. Is there a way to make them without a food processor? All I have is a mini chopper or a blender. I also have a hand blender, will anything I have work?

Am I the only person in this world that finds walnuts somewhat bitter? I would much rather have hazel nuts or pecans. Even almonds.

Shoot. you need to get the nuts well chopped try the blender put in the nuts and sugar and go for it then do the rest by hand.

Addie, hazelnuts would be the nut of choice and almonds follow so you are going to make and love some great cookies.
