Walnut Butter Cookies

Baking cookies at home is easy and much healthier then getting store bought cookies which are full of sugar, artificial flavoring and preservatives.

These delicate walnut butter cookies take very little time to prepare and they taste amazing.

For me, these cookies bring back fond childhood memories, our home always smelled heavenly during the festive season and school breaks.
My mother makes the most delicious cakes and cookies, and the recipe for these walnut butter cookies has been in our family for generations.
