I just made these and they are delicious. I used whole wheat flour and 1 cup of walnuts. I also added some cinnamon just because I could and we love cinnamon. They only took 9 minutes in my oven.
My sister came by and tried them while they were still warm and had to have the recipe.
These are not overly sweet and will be more like a breakfast cookie for us.
I will definitely be making them again very soon.
