Black walnut biscuits
These luxury all-butter biscuits are similar to shortbread studded with black walnuts, then covered in icing sugar. A lovely way to use black walnuts, though regular walnuts could also be used.

This was very good, the only changes I made was I used no brandy and pecans for my nut prefererence.I recommend this cooky, especially if you are a lover of Mexican Wedding cookies like myself. - 07 Dec 2000 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I made these cookies for my husband because the recipe sounded like one that his grandmother used to bake for him when he was a little boy. I had to substitute Kahlua for the brandy, but the result was fantastic. This is a simple and delicious cookie. I can't wait to make another batch. - 18 Dec 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This is a nice recipe for a delicate, light, melt in your mouth cookie. Very much like an ice cream cookie. - 16 Oct 2001 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
